Okay, now that we've hopefully put that one and its predecessor to bed, what is the take among Italian scholars on the proper pronunciation of our recently-withdrawn senatorial candidate's name, Torricelli? The media pronounce it "Torreselli," but I've heard arguments that the "c" should be a "ch," as in "cello." (Wow, got 'em both in!)
