Subject:  Italian diction - col, del, nel


Vale (and others who teach diction) --

How do Italian speakers (or, how do you teach, you
professors) pronounce these contractions, if and when
they come up:

col, colla, colle
del, dello, nel, nella, pel, pelle
nol

(Those are contractions for con+il, di+il, in+il,
per+il, and non+il -- and the resulting contractions
with la, le, etc.)

For simplicity, I think the list's shorthand of
e=closed, E=open, o=closed, O=open is a good one when
discussing diction.

Colorni and Moriarty are directly contradicting each
other for these words.

I thought this question might be a good one for the
archives, so I'm asking on the list.
