The second one is English, not Italian. Here is a list I found on the
Internet (
http://www.lilypond.org/stable/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Pitches.html#note%20name
).
It shows
* country/language/"Locale"
* names for the 7 notes of the diatonic scale and additionally (next to
last) the semi-tone above a (or la)
* the suffixes used for heightening and lowering a note by a semi-tone
