- ↑ Except Template:IPAslink, all consonants after a vowel and before Script error: No such module "IPA"., Script error: No such module "IPA"., a vowel or a semivowel may be geminated. Gemination in IPA is represented by doubling the consonant (fatto Script error: No such module "IPA"., mezzo Script error: No such module "IPA".), and can usually be told from orthography. After stressed vowels and certain prepositions and conjunctions, word-initial consonants also become geminated (syntactic gemination): va via Script error: No such module "IPA"..
- ↑ a b Template:Angbr represents both Script error: No such module "IPA". and Script error: No such module "IPA".. The article on Italian orthography explains how they are used.
- ↑ a b c d e Script error: No such module "IPA". are always geminated after a vowel.
- ↑ a b Template:Angbr represents Script error: No such module "IPA". or Script error: No such module "IPA"., except in roots of Greek origin, when preceded by another consonant, and in a few other words, where it represents Script error: No such module "IPA"..
- ↑ a b c d e A nasal always assimilates to the place of articulation of the following consonant. It is bilabial Script error: No such module "IPA". before Script error: No such module "IPA"., labiodental Script error: No such module "IPA". before Script error: No such module "IPA"., dental, alveolar or postalveolar Script error: No such module "IPA". before Script error: No such module "IPA"., and velar Script error: No such module "IPA". before Script error: No such module "IPA".. Utterance-finally, it is always Script error: No such module "IPA"..
- ↑ Non-geminate Script error: No such module "IPA". is generally realised as a monovibrant trill or flap Template:IPAblink, particularly in unstressed syllables.
- ↑ a b Script error: No such module "IPA". and Script error: No such module "IPA". contrast only intervocalically. Word-initially, after consonants, when geminated, and before voiceless consonants, only Script error: No such module "IPA". is found. Before voiced consonants, only Script error: No such module "IPA". is found.
- ↑ Script error: No such module "IPA". is usually dropped.
- ↑ Script error: No such module "IPA". is usually pronounced as Template:IPAblink in English loanwords, and Template:IPAblink, Template:IPAblink (if spelled Template:Angbr) or Template:IPAblink (if spelled Template:Angbr or Template:Angbr) in Spanish ones.
- ↑ In Spanish loanwords, Script error: No such module "IPA". is usually pronounced as Template:IPAblink or Template:IPAblink or dropped. In German, Arabic and Russian ones, it is usually pronounced Template:IPAblink.
- ↑ Italian contrasts seven monophthongs in stressed syllables. Open-mid vowels Script error: No such module "IPA". can appear only if the syllable is stressed (coperto Script error: No such module "IPA"., quota Script error: No such module "IPA".), close-mid vowels Script error: No such module "IPA". are found elsewhere (Boccaccio Script error: No such module "IPA"., amore Script error: No such module "IPA".). Close and open vowels Script error: No such module "IPA". are unchanged in unstressed syllables, but word-final unstressed Script error: No such module "IPA". may become approximant Template:IPAblink before vowels, which is known as synalepha (pari età Script error: No such module "IPA".).
- ↑ Open-mid Template:IPAblink or close-mid Template:IPAblink if it is stressed but usually Template:IPAblink if it is unstressed. May be replaced by Template:IPAblink (stressed) or Template:IPAblink (stressed or unstressed).
- ↑ Script error: No such module "IPA". is often pronounced as Template:IPAblink or [[[:Template:IPA link]]Template:IPA link].
- ↑ Since Italian does not distinguish full and reduced vowels (like the English o in conclusion vs o in nomination), a defined secondary stress, even in long words, is extremely rare.
- ↑ Primarily stressed vowels are long in non-final open syllables: fato Script error: No such module "IPA"., fatto Script error: No such module "IPA"..
