Not sure how it’s pronounced.
Just in case you want to spend the time ( Rolleyes ), there is a link to the pronunciation guide in the first line of this article.  Regrettably, it is quicker and probably more effective for you to work through the guide than it is for me to try to explain it.  FWIW, my unscholarly impression is that he was a hugely gifted writer, brilliant with street smarts, unpretentious (perhaps), and not overburdened with catechism.  There is no doubt however, that he had a lasting influence on the Italian language, Italian literature, and western conceptions of courtly love (think knights, quests, The Princess Bride, and that sort of thing).       ...

Would have never thought it was a dude’s name. I thought it was probably a place. Like a town, city or region.
Too lazy to google it.

I'm blushing, and you could stand to have some better counsel.  Somehow we muddle though though.
