No... in Italian, no matter what kind of Italian,
there are definitely closed and open "o" and "e."
Now, *which* o's and e's are closed and which are open
is definitely regional (I've found that, as a VAST
generalization, the north tends to close the
questionables and the south tends to open them).
There are also dipththongs in certain regional
dialects, as well.
