Smile How to pronounce 'Bocelli'?
Andrea Bocelli is an Italian tenor. How do I pronounce his last name?

Bo-> Bo(ss)
celli -> ce(ll), li

Right?

Thanks!

Thank goodness then that Bocelli isn't a Polish name.

Before either an E or an I, the Italian C is pronounced like an English "CH" (tʃ).

Medici - Medi-ch-i

Bocelli - Bo-ch-elli


I am not a teacher.
