A single consonant goes with the following vowel.

ItalianEnglishca–sahousepo–si–ti–vopositive

Double consonants are divided.

ItalianEnglishbab–bodadros–soredbel–lobeautifulat–toact

Two consonants, the first of which is l, m, n, or r, are divided.

ItalianEnglishba–staenoughfi–gliosonpa–drefatherba–gnobathso–praabovesa–crosacred

The first of three consonants, except s, goes with the preceding syllable.

ItalianEnglishsem–prealwaysfel–trofeltmem–bromembermen–trewhile

BUT

ItalianEnglishfi–ne–strawindowpe–schepeachesmi–ne–strasoupmo–stromonster

Diphthongs and triphthongs are never divided.

Diphthongs may occur in stressed or unstressed syllables. However, when a diphthong is broken by stress (the vowel i or u directly bears the stress), then the two vowels break into separate syllables.
