| | Japanese translation:トゥローノ | Explanation:
An alternative way to write it would be トゥルオーノ, but I feel that unnecessarily elongates the "truo" part.

Just wanted to clarify - did not mean imply that I decided against トゥルオーノ just because I don't like the way it sounds. I feel that if a Japanese person were to read トゥルオーノ out loud, the "truo" part would sound much longer and hence differ from the original pronunciation (Italian name pronounced by an American). |

| Grading comment For me, the pronunciation at Forvo.com sounds like トゥルオーノ or トゥルオーナ.
Thank all of you for helpful advice and reference.
