How exactly does one pronounce the name/word: "Pogliaghi?"

Is it "pog-lee-off-fee?" Could it be "pog-lee-awe-jee? How about "Poe-glee-a-fee?"

Searched the archives for Pogliaghi pronunciation and came up empty.

Ted:

"Pole-yahghee" (but more run together, not so much separate sounds) is what I've been told.
