The 21 letters and their names

Italian is written with 21 letters: the 26 of English without j, k, w, x and y, which turn up only in words from other languages (i lunga, cappa, doppia vu, ics, ipsilon). Under each letter is its Italian name, then how to say it, with the stressed syllable in capitals. Every letter is on a US or UK keyboard, so no extra key is needed.
