How can you say one is strictly greater than the other if they're the same thing

Ah. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you prefer the name you're used to. Happens.

I don't think there are many Italian names for US cities that are different from the English names. I guess Baltimora is the only one that comes to mind. Pretty much nobody says Nuova York. Maybe some people would say Sant'Antonio, idk. People do say San Paolo to refer to São Paulo in Brazil.

As for other English-speaking cities, I guess Londra, Dublino, Edimburgo and Città del Capo are the only Italian names that come to mind. Also Gibilterra if that counts. There are a lot more Italian names for cities in mainland Europe

During fascism there was a push to eradicate all loanwords from Italian, to replace foreign placenames within Italy, etc. Maybe in that period they made up more names for US cities that nobody uses anymore. I'm too lazy to check

EDIT: some of us spell Filadelfia like this. I don't
