Roman

The capital's accent, familiar from film: ci between vowels softens to sh, l before a consonant becomes r — 'il cane' is 'er cane' — nd becomes nn, and gl becomes a plain y. It is relaxed and low, with a drawl on the stressed syllable.

Où: Rome and Lazio

La porte d’entrée: 'Er cane' — turn every l before a consonant into r and let the stressed vowel drag.
