Every time I think this name, I think of gestapo. I have no reasoning, it just is. I probably read a book with that name in those times. Still, it’s enough for me not to name my child that.
For English, It’s pronounced (Giuseppei) not (giuseppi)

I love the name Giuseppe; it's one of my favourite masculine names. For me, this is a very patriotic name; in Italy, we had many historical figures named Giuseppe, including one of my favourite historical figures, Giuseppe Garibaldi, as well as Giuseppe Mazzini or Giuseppe Verdi. The name Giuseppe is the Italian variation of Joseph, so it has religious significance as well. The name Giuseppe had always been very popular; in fact, it's the most common name within the total male population of Italy. I have family members and friends named Giuseppe, and they're great people. I'll always have positive associations with this name.
The name Giuseppe was given to 79 boys born in the US in 2016.

This name sounds like a very fat jolly man. Keep in mind that doesn't mean I don't like it. Haha.
A somewhat unfortunate connotation of this name- Giuseppe Zangara, who tried to shoot U.S. President-elect Franklin Roosevelt in 1933, and wound up killing the mayor of Chicago because he misfired. (He's mentioned as one of the assassins in Sondheim's musical 'Assassins' because of this.)
