How do you pronounce the name Philomena in Italian? Philómena or Philoména?

Filomèna

I think there are more "esdrújulas" in Italian because we've lost the last vowel in some conjugated verbs, such as: cantavano- cantaban. 
Ma io penso che la maggior parte delle parole sono piane, come nello spagnolo. |
