Tesora,
1. Only accept pronunciation correction from an Italian. Of course someone like Annalisa or Duebaci, etc.(so many good translators here) who you know you can trust with it also, but that means you're somewhat familiar with the person.
2. If you think even then that they are wrong, then try to know which area they're from. In Sicily, there was a man called Don Ciccio, but it was pronounced "kee-kyo." I was surprised, but later in the book there were some funny situations of the dialect conflicting with standard Italian (now it looks like Sicilian and Italian are considered 2 different ones) and also the dialect varying so greatly only 10 miles apart!
