Accent for Daniela Santanchè

Hi Mushroom,

I spent a fair amount of time trying to figure out whether the accent should be acute or grave. Both versions are attested. Probably I went with acute because a grave accent on an e at the end of a word really looks pretty strange (the single-letter word è has a grave accent, but I can't immediately think of another exception, and all the conjunctions that end in ché have acute ones). Do you have a particular rationale for this choice?

By the way, I asked this question at it:discussione:Daniela Santanchè and never got a real solid answer. --Trovatore (talk) 06:17, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Trovatore, here's my rationale:

The "è" in Santanchè is pronounced /ɛ/. Italian grammar mandates the use of the grave accent for /ɛ/ and the acute accent for /e/ (though, as you can see, not everyone follows the rule — often not even the newspapers!).
Santanchè's official website, Facebook profile, Twitter profile, and her husband's website all use the grave accent.
There are some Italian words ending in "è", for instance tè, caffè, bebè, cioè, lacchè, and given names Noè, Mosè, Giosuè.
The final "è" is quite common in place names in Northern Italy: Almè, Arsiè, Bianzè, Carrè, Cuorgnè, Dolcè, and so on.
Many surnames from Northern Italy also end in "è": Maffè, Mattè, Bescapè, Germogliè, Caritè, and so on.
The Santanchè family is from Northern Italy. Daniela's former husband Paolo Santanchè was born in Turin, Piedmont.

I hope this clears it out. Cheers! Mushroom (Talk) 21:39, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

OK, fair enough. Glad to have a definitive answer. --Trovatore (talk) 23:27, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
