Amore fraterno for meaning and Filadelfia for name are Italian equivalents of the English name "Philadelphia." The masculine singular noun and adjective in the first case literally means in English "brotherly love" -- the city's original meaning in the combination of the Greek words philos ("friendship," "love") and adelphos ("brother") -- whereas the second shows how the Italian alphabet spells the proper name. The respective pronunciations will be "a-MO-rey fra-TER-no" and "FEE-la-DEL-fya" in Italian.
