Tony Fucile: Hi, my name is Tony Fucile. The proper pronunciation in Italian is FOO-SHE-LAY but we've been pronouncing it FOO-CHILE for over 100 years here. The meaning of Fucile in Italian is rifle. I think the origin of that comes from flintrock or flintstone, which is another definition of the name Fucile.
