I was just looking at some old stuff of mine written in English and found a quote from ספורנו. I must have heard five different pronunciations of that name over the years: Siforno, Siporno, Sipurno, Sforno, etc. So I figured here would be as good a place as any to ask - Does any have any idea what the actual exact pronunciation should be?

אם אינני טועה ראיתי
sphorno
אבל זו עיר באיטליה וצריך לברר איך המקום נקרא
Hmmm, according to the omnipotent Wikipedia it is simply a family name and I wasn't able to find any city in Italy by that name.
I think forno means "oven" in Italian and, yes, there is a town of Forno, here - http://www.maplandia.com/italy/toscana/massa-carrara/forno/
Se Forno means - Forno itself, or
"is Forno"?
