Visitors ask...how do you pronounce "Pietrelcina"?

This has been dealt with previously, but I failed to put Pietrelcina in the title ! Visitors are wondering how to pronounce the word, "Pietrelcina" (as in St. Pio of Pietrelcina who is mentioned in this blog's header). I wanted to be accurate and so I consulted someone who speaks Italian fluently who confirmed my thoughts. The pronunciation is: PEE-ATE-TRAL-CHEE'-NA. Sorry, but I can't do linguistic symbols on this blog. That is close enough I pray!

A "persistent" visitor is wondering how to pronounce the word, "Pietrelcina" (as in St. Pio of Pietrelcina who is mentioned in this blog's header).
