How do you pronounce the last name Calviello in Italian?
Hi. It's "cal-vee-Ello". The capital shows where the stress is. The "L" is pronounced like the "L" in "luck". The double "L" is a prolonged "L".
Reply:Actually, the i here has a y sound, not an ee sound. Also, it is important that you "double" or prolong the "l" sound for the pair of l's.








cah VYELL loh





(I prefer to use IPA for pronunciation, but can't here)
Reply:CALVYELLOH





You must put the accent on the 'E'.

Reply:I think it's "Cal-vee-ELL-o" -- or close to that.
Reply:Cahl-vee-ay-oh. The two l's have a y sound.
