I know it's not pronounced like that in Italian, but I always read his name as "Googly-Elmo" Marconi.

  Wow. I can't unsee that.

    That just wrecked my ability to say the name of a prominent 15th century Italian dance master. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guglielmo_Ebreo_da_Pesaro https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guglielmo_Ebreo_da_Pesaro

      I've always been more of a Caroso fan, especially his second treatise. I've even learned Alegrezza d'amore from both his first and second works and did them back to back :) Then again, Petit Riens is my favorite danes of Pesaro's... I call it mosh pit riens given how rowdy it can be!

        Yeah, but "Fabritio" can't measure up to "Googly-Elmo"! Fabric Cheeto? Febreze Cheeto? BTW Allegrezza d'Amore is also in Santucci. Happy to send you a translation.

  To be fair the pronunciation of GLI in Italian is rather unique, so I’ll take Googly-Elmo!
