Vitalia - pronunciation?
"vee-tah-LEE-ah" or "vee-TAHL-yah"? I would say "vee-TAHL-yah," but it's Italian, and the Italian name Rosalia is not "roh-SAHL-yah" but "roh-sah-LEE-ah."

I'd say that vee-TAHL-yah is definately not correct because the -ia are pronounced as two seperate letters ee-ah. I suspect that it is vee-TAH-lee-ah because Italia is pron. ee-TAH-lee-ah.
In some countries...
...I daresay, the correct pronounciation would be Losaria.
Then again, these folks get to vote evely molning.

What a pretty name!
I would pronounce it Vi-TAH-lee-ah, rather than Vee-TAH-lee-ah, as the 'Vee' part would end up sounding too much like a non-Italian trying to sound Italian, whilst Vi-TAH-lee-ah sounds effortless, and more authentic.

I don't think they have the I sound (like in "bit") in italian... I'm pretty sure they say EE to an i.
Yes, that is correct. My pronunciation non-Italian.
I never heard this name in italy! but i think it's pronunciated with I not EE.
i'm italian and i'd pronuciate it "vee-TAHL-yah" and not "vee-tah-LEE-ah".I think it's better!
I have heard Italians say vee-TAH-lee-ah (like Italia).

I haven't undestand if you'd like an italian pronunciation or an english/no-italian pronunciation.
