I'm not convinced that there is an 'authoratitive list' - just the biggest place you can think of beginning with the relevant letter. so R for Roma, F for Firenze, G for Genova, B for Bologna, M for Milano, D is (always) Domodossola, C for Como, T for Torino.

The other letters are perhaps more fluid - I use L for Livorno, A for Ancona, E for Empoli, I for Imperia and O for Otranto, but whether these are 'correct' I don't know - they work!

J is a pig, it either 'ee lunga' or Juventus, (but you have to hope the listener isn't an Inter fan). W is also tricky, and X is 'eeks'. H is 'acca', and K is kappa. Q - I dunno!
