How do you pronounce "Orciari"??

I'm curious how you pronounce this term. I see it as OR-C-R-E

Is that correct?

nope. in italian, when you see the letters -cia it's like saying cha in English. so, it's pronounced OR-CHA-REE.

In case you don't believe him, discodan is right - "ch" sound.

Italian? I can't find it in my Cassell's.
Closest word I find is "orciolo" ....means "pitcher" or "jug".
