Question

How to pronounce these two Italian names in English properly? Caravaggio / Michelangelo.
Two artistic names to conjure with ^_^

Thanks for the help!

Answer

Michelangelo = 
Mi (this is is like "mi" of mission) che ("ke") lange ("ge" of "gesture") lo
Caravaggio=
 Ka - ra (like rat) - vaggio ("ggio" like joy but with more emphasis because of the two "g")
I hope it helps!

Answer

The exact Italian pronunciation of both names is what is technically correct, but many English speakers pronounce "Michelangelo" with an English long i and short a ("Maichelængelo").
