Ciao to my Britsh friends...
BTW, Turi, you had dibs on Giuliano's avatar since you're further up in seniority. If you want me to give it up I will.
The letter "C" is always pronounced "CH",unless it is sandwiched between two vowels, then it is pronounced "K", as in Bruculino. Now in the case of double cc it can be pronounced two ways, "CH" as in Susan Lucci, or "K" as in Lucca. If an "A" proceeds a double c it is always the "K" sound. If you have a "ch" it is always "K".
Is that clear? Minchia!
Like the heart of a lion (Corleone) the warrior dies alone.
