I read something that suggested I'm mispronouncing a single "z"
in Italian.
 
The double "z" is, of course, "tz" as in "pizza".
 
But the single "z" is "dz" such that the vegetable oil is "Madzola".
 
There apparently is never a plain "z" sound in Italian as there is
in the English "windows".
 
Any Italian linguists here to help out?
