Yes pronunciations change but it's usually due to illiteracy. That is irrelevant. We have reality, which is separate from origin. You have Newark, New Jersey and Newark, Delaware, each pronounced in its own way. I don't care which is right, and even if I knew, I'm not going to tell one of them to start pronouncing it differently. Incidentally, pronunciation from one country/language to another explains why we have such diverse names as Ivan, Juan, John, Gian, Sean, and others, all derived from one name taking on its own pronunciation and character when moving from one language to another.

You're right. He could pronounce it anyway (3% chance) but he unexpectedly chooses to pronounce it the Italian way. Great point!

I was at a concert with the Phoenix Symphony and the conductor kept mispronouncing Giacchino's name. Drove. Me. Nuts. (He also insisted that the Imperial March was based on Mars from The Planets. Arrrgh.) Good concert though.
