Vowel-Consonant Division

Syllables are generally divided after vowels (e.g., ser-vo).

Consonant Cluster Division

Consonant clusters are split according to sonority, but geminate consonants remain intact within a syllable (e.g., mec-ca).

Penultimate Stress

Italian generally stresses the penultimate syllable unless otherwise indicated by an accent mark.

  • The geminate 'cc' is a potential point of variation in pronunciation, but it doesn't affect the syllabification.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they don't alter the syllable structure.
