Hi,

Sorry guys . . . Your right the letter G does exist in the standard Italian alphabet. All my uncles and my dad's name starts with G has in Giacomo.

When I saw the request I got confused (senior moment), for some reason I was thinking of the letter "J" which my dad and uncles currently use in their names.

There is a letter G but no letter J in the old alphabet.

Although, as the world becomes more globalize I'm seeing more references to letters that were not in the Italian alphabet. (i.e. TWA)

Red faced,
Anna

Please ask your firend, the one who told you there was no "G" in Italian how
else does one spell "Giuseppi" as in Verdi.
