The pronounce is:
'Kooaht-tròhk-kee' ah like in 'are', oh like in 'saw'
This 'last name' it's formed by the words Quattro (#4=Four), and Occhi (Eyes), so we have Foureyes. But it's also a joke to call someone who gets glasses.
I'm Italian too. Ciao.

The 'h' after the 'cc' makes the sound into a 'k' rather than a 'ch', which it would be before an e' pr 'i'.
Therefore, it's [kwatrokki] where the [i] is like English 'ee'. Four-eyes.
