Trotting Trentonians

This is a short Italian tongue twister: Trentatré Trentini entrarono a Trento, tutti e trentatré, trotterellando. It means: Thirty three Trentonians (people from Trento, an Italian city) came into Trento, all thirty three trotting.

I am an English speaker and find this the easiest, but maybe that's because I'm reading it and not doing it from memory. I do love an 'r' though!

This must be one of the toughest for English native speaker: they often have difficulties in rolling their "Rs"....
