Pronunciation of

Lorenzo Insigne

Lorenzo Insigne is an Italian professional footballer, currently playing as a forward for Serie A club Napoli, but he will join Major League Soccer club Toronto FC beginning 1 July 2022. The correct pronunciation of Lorenzo is law-rehn-zo, with the letter “z” pronounced as in pizza. It is hard to pronounce the last name Insigne because of the sound of the letters “gn”. We will transcribe the “gn” sound with "ñ", a more familiar sound to English-speakers as it is used in common foreign words like "piñata" or "niño". The correct pronunciation of Insigne is een-see-ñeh.
