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.
