Nope, you're all wrong Ezio is pronounced ets-ee-oe.

Dawson has the pronunciation nearly correct... but not quite. Eyh-Tzee-Oh "E" becomes very close to "Eyh"/"Ayh," as in "Avery." "Z" creates it's typical sound but with the added soft "T"-- "Tz." Stress your "I" to "EE." As always, "O" equals "Oh."
