Art/Literary - Government / Politics / pronunciation?

German term or phrase: Alcide de Gasperi

[ultcheede] (Italian-like) or [ulsid] (French-like)?

By birth the person is Austro-Hungarian (that's why I'm posting it as a DE-EN question), but in my text he is referred to as an "Italian politician". What's the most likely pronunciation of the first name in the EU circles?

Thx again.
