A pronunciation resource offered by Rai (Italian national broadcaster)

A dictionary (still expanding) and some readings.

You can see the original texts and their phonetic rendering while listening to them.

The speaker is no doubt from Florence, but no hoca hola effect here:

Italian pronunciation at its best (in a whisper : maybe), but hardly standard (as in everyday everywhere) Italian.

[But be warned: this [me]is a polentone writing here, please consider the two lines above a little rant.]


a more serious Beware: the small anthology picks up texts from XIII to XX century thus for modern Italian choose the last entries.
