"Mat-TEY-o REET-tchee" is a way to pronounce the Italian name Matteo Ricci. The masculine proper name translates as "Matthew Curls," "Matthew Hedgehogs" or "Matthew Sea-urchins" according to English context. The surname will be found throughout insular and peninsular Italy even though historically and nowadays it tends to cluster in the north Italian regions of Emilia-Romagna and Toscana and in the central-west Italian region of Lazio.
