Does anyone know the CORRECT pronunciation of the well known tyre company, Pirelli? We have a guy in the office who lives near their UK base in Burton-on-Trent and he is adamant that it is pronounced with a long "i" (ie. Pye-relli) by all the locals, whereas the rest of us swear it's a short "i" (ie. Pi-relli).

I need this sorting once and for all, before staplers and folders start flying around the office!!!
I realise it's an Italian company - so how do the Italians pronounce it?!!
