Can mai count as two syllables in Italian? I have a 17th century print that seems to give it two notes.
Thanks,
Dennis
I believe that each vowel gets its own note, unlike languages like English which are full of diphthongs and triphthons. You often find bisyllabic Italian words on a single note, and the singer has to know to divide the note in 2.
