I'm pretty sure it's "mow-day-na".

As far as i know, and im 99% sure, its not Mow-Day-Na, or Mo-Denna,

It's Moh-Deh-Na, no emphasis on any part of it, just rolls off the tongue.

According to dictionary.com:

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?db=*&q=modena

It's mow-de-nah (basically the same as what i said, mow-den-ah). The 'e' is not pronounced 'ay', but pronounced like the 'e' in 'pet' or 'den'.

Im pretty sure the beginning is not pronounced 'mow', like 'row' (your boat). I think it is pronounced the same as "mod"... ill have to ask my brother he speaks some italian.. the "ay" part is definitely not right

dictionary.com saws the 'o' in "mo" is pronounced like "toe"!

But it does have two different pronounciations, I was using the second one.
