Two questions: How do ITALIANS pronounce "Fiocchi"?

And, has anyone been to the Beretta factory in Gardone recently? How do you arrange a factory visit? Can you just show up, or do you have to make some arrangement ahead of time? We just want to do the normal visit; we're not industrial spies nor do we have the money for bespoke guns. Would like to see their gun collection, maybe ask some questions about historical guns, buy the t-shirts and snap caps, etc.

(I can read Italian fairly easily, but my spoken Italian....is actually Spanish. Strangely, it often works....Italians are generally very tolerant of dumb Americans, it seems).
