Da Vinci
Since Vinci is a town near Florence its italian pronounce is VEEN-chee, although in Tuscany probably they say something closer to VEEN-shee.
Anyway, Italians pronounce English names using Italian phonetic rules, and the same happens everywhere, so no problem if somebody in the U.K. says VEEN-see or whatever else.
p.s. I hope you understand my English...

Look , you both write perfectly OK English, it gets understood, so stop squabbling. Now if I stated writing in Italian, that would give you a laugh.
