Is the museum marked on the map?
'Segnato' — se-NYA-to. The 'gn' sounds like 'ny' in 'canyon'. Stress on the second syllable.
Ask a tourist office worker or map seller when looking for a specific museum on a tourist map. Useful in cities with many museums spread across a large area.
'Segnato' is the past participle of 'segnare' (to mark) used as an adjective. 'Sulla mappa' (on the map) uses 'su + la'. The passive construction 'è segnato' (it is marked) is very common in Italian for describing map features and signage.
