Mason's Pronuciation

[Rolo]

Is the pronunciation Italian - short A, long O

or

English - Long A, short O.

 

[Manton]

If you mean the shirtings company, the pronounciation is English. The company used to be English, but has since been aquired by the Italians.

 

[Rolo]

Grazie mille.

If you will indulge a small-city hick from the South - how are Kiton, Canali, and Brioni pronounced?

KEET-un, cuh-NAH-lee, bree-OWN-ee

Thanks, I was luckily two for three. "Keaton" I would have never gotten.

Unfortunately, it's all academic for me... I doubt I'll ever be buying any anywhere but ebay or a thrift store if I'm lucky.

There seem to be a lot of opinions about how names ARE pronounced and how they SHOULD be pronounced...
