Italian Children Do Italian Children Call Their Fathers This?

Do italian children call their fathers this? - italian children

I'm writing a story for school and I had a little story about an Italian characters like. He calls his father the way when they call us something, as "Papa" ... What is the Italian way of saying it? I have translated babbo good "or" Dad "online, but am not sure that this is simply a direct translation, or only what the children as their father in a beautiful way ...

I call my father "Dad", even now that I am not a child was, I've always called it.
In southern Italy, I believe they call "Babbo".

So it depends on where your story.

I call my father = "papa"
but also with "babbo" (in many regions of Italy) and "Papa" or "Paparina" (but it is for "potato" short)

and my mother call = "mama" or "MA" (short!)

Papà ---> Pah-Pah

Babbo ---> bahbi-Boh

Papi ---> PAH-pee

Babbo is typical of Tuscany, I've never heard of Tuscany ...

Venice in northern Italy, so I "think Dad" is the best ...

Yeh, they're both good.
Babbo think it is more used in southern Italy.
Papà place in the north.
We have always said: Papi (IPO)
Bye!
Oh, Venice in northern Italy in the Veneto region.

The word "babbo" and "Dad" are more common in the informal language used ... Even the word "father", but for official purposes.
