General cinquecento

[robcento]

how do you pronounce it? both me my dad and brother had an arguement about it if someone could spell it out phonetically(sp?) wit would be great. and dont make me look to stupid

 

[serin]

chin-key-chen-toe

thats how i say it

 

[joecinq]

I am pretty sure i saw it on a website that it is 'chin-kway-chento' , also the bloke at my scrappy pronounces it that way..

I pronounce it chinkychento, if it helps..

Got this from http://www.artlex.com/ArtLex/Ci.html

cinquecento - Italian, literally "five hundred," it refers to the 1500s — the sixteenth century. It is especially used to refer to Italian art of that century, the time of the High Renaissance and Mannerism. (pr. cheen'kway chayn'toh)
