ksmithNames. Pronunciation.
During my art major days, I took an overview course in Renaissance Art. One of the Italian painters we studied was Cimabue, whose name, according to our instructor, was pronounced "chim-a'-boo-ay".
So. Paul Tagliabue, the NFL commish. He is, iirc, Italian. Everyone pronounces his name "tag'-lee-a-boo", but should it be pronounced "tah-lee-a'-boo-ay"?
