The school-standard pronunciation would be kind of like Poh yee ah ghee (where ghee is like the butter with a hard g)

Ee tahl kor say Mee lahn oh

Gipiemme is easy for Americans, just say the names of the letters as you would in English: G P M A. In fact, isn't this brand a play on the founders initials, GPM? (in Italiano, these letters are pronounced Gee Pee Emmay)
