pronunciation: Lucia
 

I'm reading Donna Leon novels and this is one of many names and words that I've never figured out how to pronounce. loocha? loocheea? none of the above?

Lu-chee-ah...think of "ciao"... that combo of "ci" is pronounced like the English say CH (only softer somehow...)

Hi p,

Loo chee ah, as in "Santa Lucia".

((I))

**thank you**

I like her novels, too! I am not much for mysteries but will read almost anything set in Venice...
