How do you pronounce the name Cavicchi as in Claudio Cavicchi?

Answer 1

cah-vitch-ee : This is my name; my grandfather came from northern Italy to the US in the early 1900's. He told us to pronounce it as: : (ka-vik-ee). LCavicchi CAH-vee-kee

1. In Italian, "cc" takes on the phonetic sound of "ch" if immediately followed by an "i" or "o" (Gucci). If immediately followed by any other letter, it takes on a phonetic sound of "k" (Gnocchi).

2. I represent the works of master artisan, Claudio Cavicchi, who lives in Bologna, Italy, and "CAH-vee-kee" (Hit the first syllable hard, and soften a tad with each following syllable) is how Claudio pronounces his own name.
