Sclafani is a surname of Italian origin that is pronounced as /skləˈfɑːni/. The first part of the word, "scla", is pronounced as /sklə/ with a short "a" sound. The second part, "fani", is pronounced with a long "a" sound as /ˈfɑːni/. The spelling of the word does not conform to traditional English pronunciation rules, as the "sc" sound is usually pronounced as "sk" and the "f" sound is usually accompanied by the "v" sound. However, this is a common occurrence in Italian names and words that have been adopted into English.
