My name is ASCIONE

It's everyone else's lack of skill at saying it combined with my
intolerance of hearing it slaughtered that lead me to go with a
nickname. My
Middle name is Cash though. Everyone can say that. Here I am at

years or so but it still has the name. Isn't that a beautiful site.
Ascione is a mountain range in southern Italy.
