Stress / Accento Tonico
Usually, Italian words are stressed on the next–to–the–last syllable.
amico friend foglia leaf Milano Milan nipote nephew padre father parlare to speak signorina Miss studiare to study telefonare to telephone uomo man
When the final –e is dropped from a word, as happens with some masculine titles when they are directly followed by a proper name, the position of the stress remains unchanged.

When words are stressed on the last vowel, they always have a written accent over that vowel.
cioè namely città city perchè because però however tassì taxi università university venerdì Friday virtù virtue
It is useful to remember that open e and o occur only in stressed syllables.

Note: The written accent is used with a few monosyllables in order to distinguish them from others that have the same spelling but a different meaning.
