Elisabetta "Elisa" and Lothario (Elisabetta is a family name)
Clarice(klah-REE-chay) and Sisto.
Dante and Fiammetta.
Giorgio and Donatella
Andrea and Ginevra or Salvatrice.
Salvatore and Viviana.
It's difficult to pick for me since I'm Italian born and bred, but I'l go for Donato and Fiammetta (subject to change).
Ruggiero and Salvatrice
Just because they are both so impoosibly beautiful and outrageous.
I also love Jacopo, Lorenzo, Giambattista, Valentino and Prospero.

Pietro and Mafalda
I know I have names I prefer more that are used in Italy, listed here as Italian, etc. (like Maria, Teodora, Angelina, and so on) but when I think "Italian names" specifically these are two of my favorites.
I tend to like forms of Peter and Pietro appears pretty frequently in my family tree. There's no reasoning behind Mafalda other than I enjoy it. The 'fal' is appealing to me.

Gemma, Liliana or Rosabella for a girl and Luca for a boy.
Mario or Luigi and Ginevra or Alessandra/Alessia
Alessandra and Amedea
*Alessandro
Luca and Ginevra or Amedea.
Ginevra and Amedea are tied.

Romeo or Alessandro & Alessandra.
Giorgio and Ginevra.
Giorgio is excellent. I've yet to meet a George variant I don't like! They all seem so... amiable.
Quite true
And Giorgio is so much fun to say!

Prospero or Alessio & Perla...

Salvatore and Renata
This is a tough choice. Raffaello and Natalia were close seconds.

Giorgio and Calogera
Romeo and Cecilia
Wow, that's really hard. I'm part Italian, and it will be interesting to see what others will choose.
Cecilia is my no. 1 name atm, if I have a girl, this will most likely be her name. Romeo, just because in my eyes, it's the ultimate Italian name. I also love Teo, but Romeo tops it, it's my ultimate GP.

Federica is gorgeous :)
I know one and her mother calls her Feddy from time to time. It's so cute.
