Answer:

The difference is due to the succeeding vowel sound strength (whether it is weak or strong)

Explanation:

"ch" produces "k" like sound. Whenever , alphabet "c" with in any word comes before any weak vowel sound such as i  or e , it always sound as "ch".

Therefore, c and ch in gioco and giochi are sound similar.

"sc" sounds like "sk" when it comes before any strong vowel sound (as in the case of capisco)
