Help with pronunciation

Does someone know the correct pronunciation of Cerveteri, Tarquinia and Vulci?

Thank you!

Cerveteri: cher-veh-teh-ri

Tarquinia: tar-kin-ya

Vulci: vool-chi

I agree with the last poster, except that it is

chair-VEH-ter-ee

It's been explained to me by an Italian friend that the name comes from the Etruscan and is an exception to the Italian accent-on-the-penultimate-syllable rule.
