Given a string in Str1 consisting of a word, return in Ans the sum of the letter-values of each letter in the word.
The letter-values are given here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrabble_lett...butions#Italian
Example: UNO is in Str1. The program returns U + N + O = 3 + 3 + 1 = 7.
Note: Italian language scrabble features 4 less letters than English language scrabble. |

My first attempt is 72 bytes (leaving off the letters in the program name):

I had a fairly similar solution, but mine took 74 bytes instead.
Here's a cute solution in 104 bytes:

:e^(2→C:Ans→R:Ans→S:Ans→T
:e^(3→L:Ans→M:Ans→N:Ans→U
:e^(5→B:Ans→D:Ans→F:Ans→P:Ans→V
:Ans²→Q
:e^(8→G:Ans→H:Ans→Z
:ln(expr(Str1
