Trust Devan.
Michelangelo was Italian, (full name Michelangelo Buonarroti), so his name should be pronounced in the Italian way.
And you have spelled it correctly.
Grazie, Sleepy C, ci sono pocchi inglese chi imparanno italiano. Anche se, come me, non molto bene.

It's not Michael, as many people are telling you. The i in Michelangelo is an Italian i, which means it's pronounced more like an ee.

So it would be:

Mee-kel-ahngelo

Names of historical people are often "adapted" to the local language: for instance, original Italian name is Michelangelo, anglicized in Michela Angel in English speaking Countries; Cristoforo Colombo is turned into Cristopher Columbus, Raffaello became Raphael... It's also true the opposite, historical foreign names are often italianized, in Italy: Thomas Moore became Tommaso Moro, William the Conqueror is Gugliemo il Conquistatore, etc. "Translastions" of names of people is not used for today;s people or from quite recent past, at least by Italians point of view (English speakers, especially Americans, sometimes still do, as I personally experienced...). So, if you want to keep the Italian name, "mikelangelo" is the correct form, but you must also write it down using Italian spelling "Michelangelo"; if you want tu use the anglicized version, Michael Angel is the right pronunciation.

Mee- Kel - Ahn- Jeh-loh

In Italian, the i gets pronounced as ee, as in si or spaghetti, and the h following a c or g makes the consonant hard as in Pinocchio, or again, spaghetti so Mi is pronounced Mee, and chel is pronounced Kel. soft g in angelo, as in gelato. A g or c that is followed by an i or e is always soft. e is pronounced eh

Never in the Anglicized way. It's properly mee-kehl-ahn'-jeh-loh. And that stays the same regardless of where you are.

MICHEL either like "Michael" or "nickle"

ANGELO rhyming vaguely with "hand you dough"
