Leghorn? What would that be?
But now you are mixing up things a bit. Rzym and Wl\ochy are Polish, but
Mailand is German; Polish has Mediolan, IIRC.
Other Polish names: Akwizgran (Aachen, Dutch Aken), Lipsk (Leipzig), Chociebuz^
(Cottbus), Monachium (München)... Hmm, I should work on this in Wenedyk.
Apart from Mailand, German has niceties like Laibach (Ljubljana), Lemberg (Ukr.
Lviv, Pol. Lwów, Fr. Léopol), Kronstadt (Bras,ov), Litmannstadt (L\ódz'),
Pressburg (Bratislava), and many others.

Not to forget: Pravda, Izvestia, Al-Ahram, ...
