Yet even in this musical and “transparent” tongue, there are exceptions—letters that fade, soften, or vanish depending on dialect, speed, or etymology. These are Italy’s hidden sounds, traces of the language’s long evolution from Latin to modern speech.

Let’s uncover some of the most interesting cases.
