From GianLuca

Soprattutto has 4 't' . When you link two Italian world , the first ending with vocal and second one starting with consonant, you should double the first character of second word :

Sopra + Tutto = Soprattutto
Above + All = Aboveall

da + capo = daccapo = again
sopra + detto = sopraddetto = as above
su + via = suvvia! = c'mon!
sopra + nome = soprannome = nickname
o + pure = oppure = or
cosė + detto = cosiddetto = so called
sovra + posto = sovrapposto = overlapped
sopra + mobile = soprammobile = ornament
