Best Answer

Gioia Tauro is the name of a seaport in southwestern Italy. It's in the province of Reggio Calabria. It actually is Italy's largest seaport. The name is pronounced 'JOY-ah TOW*-roh'.

Another important port is Palermo. It's located in Sicily, just across the Straits of Messina from Calabria. Its role in Mediterranean shipping and trade goes back over 2,700 years. It's pronounced 'pah-LEHR-moh'. Its name in Sicilian is 'Palermu', which is pronounced 'pah-LEHR-moo'.

*The sound 'ow' is similar to the English interjection of pain, 'ow'.
