I noticed this during the winter olympics.... Everyone says TORINO while the Americans say TURIN.... Are there any other countries/cities names that are pronounced differently by the Americans....?? For example: Rome = Roma ...... Venice=Venezia ..... Maybe it's just against the Italians.....LOL
Mm Yeah!! I was wondering the same exact thing, I thought that it was two different cities! I dunno I dont know my Italian geography very well lol ,,,sorry...

Mallorca/Majorca Menorca/Minorca
It's human nature to bastardize your neighbour's language :)
