An example of the traditional Italian alphabet, 21 letters only: http://www.tarantiamo.com/2010/04/alfabeto-italiano.html
(nowadays Italian kids learn the same alphabet as American kids, but most people over 35 like me wouldn't really know the proper order of J, K, W, X and Y - I had to check it just now!!).
