FYI:

The correct pronunciation of Vigano is Vi-GA-no.

Not VEE-ga-no, like the way everyone seems to be pronouncing it.

There is an accent over the “o” which leads me to believe that it is pronounced “veeg-a-NO.”

I thought so too, but then an Italian lady in my parish corrected me. So I looked it up at some online pronunciation sites, and every one of the Italian and Spanish pronunciation guides said:

"VEE-ga-no." or "VEE-ga-NO".

So I dunno, but I'm going with that.
