FWIW the horse looks to be facing outward in the picture rather than to the side like your drawing.

Yea, kind of a 3/4 angle.

Also, this is the leather on the back heel, looks a bit more distinctive

If by near you mean "in", then yes

Ahh, well my aunt works at the University of Rochester. I've actually never been there, though. My wife wants to visit sometime.

In other news picked up a pair of very good shape gravati loafers and nwt noname US made linen pants, total 14.99 plus tax. Passed two T and A shirts, ugly and expensive, one PINK white shirt, exact fit but I was too lazy to go back and pick after forgetting it, and a Borrelli tie, too wide and expensive for 7 bucks besides I have zillions of stripes. Several smaller coach belts, orphan golden Fleece BB, and several BB suits too big, not worth my 24.99. I also passed Alden for BB loafers for 10 bucks bc needs soles.

I asked my wife as well because she's a fluent Italian speaker. She said that northern Italians will say it slightly different than southern Italians. Her dialekt is from Tuscany and she says it as "Key-Ton" I believe. I could possibly write it in phonetic transcription, but I believe that as long as you fake it you'll be pretty close.

Hans is correct. Key-ton, with the ton pronounced like "tone" not "ton."

^Sorry, I think that was a typo, it should have been a "tone." When I asked her what southern Italians would say, she simply made a more exaggerated pronunciation/face.
