Title change needed: Còsta to Costa

Latest comment: 8 months ago2 comments1 person in discussion

I don't have the privileges to rename the page myself (or maybe I'm missing something, despite following the advice under Template:Renaming), so I'm writing here.

The page needs to be renamed, because the man's surname was "Costa" and not "Còsta":

–Accented vowel characters are very rare in Italian spelling (other than in the final syllable of a word). In fact, "Costa" is a common surname, and is pronounced with a stress on the [ɔ], but the stress is not signalled with an accented "ò", and the spelling "Còsta" is unheard of.

–All other wikis I checked use the spelling "Costa", including the Italian page: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_Costa

–The authoritative reference work "Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani" also calls him "Costa" without the stress: https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/andrea-costa_(Dizionario-Biografico)/

I am guessing that the wrong spelling crept into this page from another authoritative source, the "Enciclopedia Treccani", s.v. "Còsta, Andrea": https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/andrea-costa/. However, the accent there is just a lexicographical device and a pronunciation aid! This peculiarity of the ET can be observed in any number of lemmata, such as "Alighièri, Dante" https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/dante-alighieri/ or "Vérdi, Giuseppe" https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/giuseppe-verdi/. <^^,===,<=> (talk) 16:44, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Update: Title change implemented on the aforementioned grounds. <^^,===,<=> (talk) 07:40, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
