I spent several hours trying to know its pronunciation.

1. G = g of girl
2. G = g of general.

Which is correct?


The second one, I believe.


David is correct. It's pronounced Jeeoko. Gioco in Italian means Game, thus
Gioco Piano literally means Quiet Game. Giuoco might be an older spelling.

Any free internet Italian-English dictionary?


For direct translation of words to and from French, Italian and Spanish
only, I use http://www.wordreference.com/
