Campagnolo - with a hard 'g' if you're an anglophone.
Campag - for short, in the UK anyway, probably nowhere else. Had never even heard the abomination that is 'Campy' until a couple of years ago.
Campa - for short in much of Europe, and definitely in France (pronounced compa). Have never, ever heard Campy in France except for Ebay chancers trying to sell to the US and Japan.
Campagnola - if you're an illiterate idiot. Fortunately there's no shortage of these, which means a succession of ill-listed bargains on Ebay.

Local firm got a short sharp e mail rap on the knuckles for using Campagnola when they were dealing with Campagnolo Very Happy

It's such a beautiful name why not use it in full anyway Very Happy
