Italian Voices

On this page we provide a unique collection of Italian voice samples (which have been contributed by the readers of our Italian website) which lets you assess the diversity and variety of Italian pronunciation patterns. The task was a very simple one: to record a short extract from the Italian Constitution (Article 3, to be precise). By clicking on the player, you'll hear the reading of the same few lines by that particular regional voice allowing you to understand the differences between speakers from different Italian regions.

LISTEN TO THE VOICES OF:

Articolo 3 della Costituzione italiana
Article 3 of the Italian Constitution 

Tutti i cittadini hanno pari dignità sociale e sono eguali davanti alla legge, senza distinzione di sesso, di razza, di lingua, di religione, di opinioni politiche, di condizioni personali e sociali.
All citizens have equal social dignity and are equal before the law, without distinction of sex, race, language, religion, political opinion, personal and social conditions. 

È compito della Repubblica rimuovere gli ostacoli di ordine economico e sociale, che, limitando di fatto la libertà e l'eguaglianza dei cittadini, impediscono il pieno sviluppo della persona umana e l'effettiva partecipazione di tutti i lavoratori all'organizzazione politica, economica e sociale del Paese.
It is the duty of the Republic to remove those obstacles of an economic or social nature which constrain the freedom and equality of citizens, thereby impeding the full development of the human person and the effective participation of all workers in the political, economic and social organisation of the country.
