Mike Grosso: Hello, my name is Mike Grosso. It is often pronounced Grosso, which I do not mind at all, and I'm more than happy to respond to. Though I admit, it sounds more like an unappetizing breakfast cereal than an Italian last name. My father's family was originally from the Basilicata region in Italy, where it is pronounced Grosso, with a slightly rolled R, and translates as big. If you think that sounds bad, the American pronunciation of Grosso changes the meaning of the word to fat.
