Italian language loves geminated consonants. In fact every single vowel sound (except /z/) exists in short version (as an English would pronounce) and in long version. When You see a word that is spelled with a double consonant (-BB-, -DD-, -FF- -ZZ- etc.) that consonant must be pronounced longer, with more effort. In IPA longer sounds are usually written adding ":" after the consonant sounds (see the pronunciation of letter F, S, M, N etc.)
