How to pronounce AgustaWestland, Giuseppe Orsi, Finmeccanica

The Anglo-Italian helicopter company in news is a 50:50 joint venture between an Italian and a British company. It is pronounced by the broad media as uh-gust-uh west-land. Which is fine. But if you want to pronounce the Italian name properly, then it would be ah-goose-tah (soft t). So in Hindi this would read as आगूस्ता. The Italian company that owns it is called Finmeccanica pronounced as fin-meck-ah-nick-uh. The CEO who has just been arrested is called Giuseppe Orsi pronounced as jew-sep-pay oar-see जूसेप्पे ओरसी
