I understand that, but it's not really practical in an English-speaking context. I guess I'm approximating how it would be pronounced by speakers of English as a first/primary language.

If it's not practical in English, why even use the Italian form? You're taken by 'operatic glamor' of an Italian name but don't want to pronounce it correctly.😄
Sorry but I think the made up English pronunciation sounds dreadful next to the Italian.

I don't know if it's fair to call the pronunciation "made up". It's just how many English speakers would naturally try to say it. To say someone shouldn't even LIKE a name if they can't say it perfectly is silly.
