Italian pronunciation of "Abategiovanni":Ah-Bah-Teyh-Gyoh-Vahn-Nee"A" as in "Father." "E" equals quite near the English greeting of "Hey" (when "H" is excluded). "Gio" creates "Gyoh" (the "I" is stressed to "EE," but morphs slightly to what is written). "A" is as before, "Father." Both "NN"s are pronounced-- most easily accomplished by additional emphasis to the "A" beforehand and slowly rolling through. The final "I" is stressed to "EE."
