Does anyone have a site or resource I can use to get the correct "phonic" use of city names ie; Citerna is CHIT-AIR-NAH. What is AREZZO ???

Don - The good thing about Italian is that the vowels are pronounced consistently, unlike in English. Once you learn them you will always at least be in the ballpark; except for which syllable to place the accent on, which can be confusing. There are nuiances, but Arezzo is Ah-REH-tsoh with the REH sounding somewhat like Ray, but not quite. I'm sure the native speakers here can be far more helpful than I.
