you're looking for the spelling of an Italian name from a Spanish site? sorry, but this annoys me. the Spanish is not the same as Italian. far from it.
those idiots can't spell/pronounce anything originating outside their natural borders so the rest of us have to accommodate them and have our beautiful names mutilated. fuck that.
PS. the English wikipedia hasn't even heard of 'Américo Vespucio' . nobody calls him like that except the Spanish. i'm sure the Russians have their own spelling of the man's name as well. should we start going by that as well? by all means, bend over backwards for people who can't read a simple name in Latin letters.
the man was Italian, and his name is Italian. i don't care what the Spanish think they have the right to say about it.
