its pronounced the same way as it is spelt.
(atleast thats how i do) 
maybe, make some hand signs to make it sound italic!
How to pronounce
Sort:
It's pronounced as Gu-yo-ko pi-ya-no 
Go to google translate, set to italian and click on the little speaker icon ;)
One thing that have amazed me for ever is that English spoken people never understood or "believed" that in Spanish and Italian the vowels have [B]one and only one pronunciation [/B] no matter where they are placed in the text.
So
"a" is pronounced always as in "bad", "mad", not like in "airborne"."mail". . .
"e" is pronounced always as in "pet", "best", not like in "meet". . .
"i" is pronounced always as in "lift", "lip", not like in "like"."fine". .
"o" is pronounced always as in "lot", "boy", not like in "loud"."foul". . .
"u" is pronounced always as in "put", "--look--", not like in "mute"."mail". . .
So now. Who tries first. . . .?
G-u.o-cc-o P-i-a-no (Play slow)
This last Piano is pronounced like the musical instrument Piano
NOTE
Actually, that combination "uo" is difficult to promouce and belongs to the old speakings.
.
I'm entering this discussion late, but better late than never. A few years ago, I was beginning to learn Italian. The first thing was distinguishing between
"cc" and "c". "CC" is pronuounced "ch" whereas "c" is "K" when before "o."
Two-letter vowell combinations are special, so "iu" is " 'yoo" kind of like "you".
the "a" is like "ah" - so "pi-ah-no."
It means "playful quiet".
Does this help?
Allegretta NOTE: see my note below!!!
@ Allegretta: giocco piano: gee-oh’-ko pee-ah’-no
Tante belle cose!
I think maybe I was spelling it wrong. Giuoco Piano,
so.. j'yoo-OH-ko pee-AH-no
I have incorporated the input, and I venture to say, this is correct!

No, this is wrong. An "a" in Italian is not pronounced like in "bad" at all.
If you're serious about learning a foreign language you should learn the phonetic alphabet IPA. The vowel sounds in English and in Italian are sometimes different: each language has sounds that the other doesn't. That means you'll have to learn different vowel sounds, not just pick the ones that you already know.
There are 7 vowel sounds in Italian. In English RP there are... 13 vowels and 8 diphthongs, for a total of 21 vowel sounds.
Does anybody know how to pronounce Giuoco Piano?
