This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Italian on Wikipedia. It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Italian in Wikipedia articles, and example words that illustrate the sounds that correspond to them.
The Italian alphabet has five vowel letters, a e i o u . Of those, only a represents one sound value, while all others have two. In addition, e and i indicate a different pronunciation of a preceding c or g (see below). In stressed syllables, e represents both open /ɛ/ and close /e/.
In Italian phonemic distinction between long and short vowels is rare and limited to a few words and one morphological class, namely the pair composed by the first and third person of the historic past in verbs of the third conjugation—compare sentii (/senˈtiː/, "I felt/heard'), and sentì (/senˈti/, "he felt/heard").
And for Italian, just a further clarification. /nk/ (phonemic structure) is common in Italian -- banca and fango are presumably structured /banka/ and /fango/, a simple assimilation rule applies, et voilà, pronunciation with anything other than [ŋ] would be weird, indeed.
Vowels pronounced with the tongue lowered are at the bottom, and vowels pronounced with the tongue raised are at the top. For example, [ɑ] (the first vowel in father) is at the bottom because the tongue is lowered in this position. [i] (the vowel in "meet") is at the top because the sound is said with the tongue raised to the roof of the mouth.
