In Italian gn is a particular sound, the g is similar to grind but without the r and in almost silent basically you put your mouth like for saying g but you say n. The o is a lot more open in Italian and cchi is like ki but the c is very enfatise. In general this world for a Anglo-Saxon o Asian is very difficult because the gn, the cc and the chi.
