Italian term or phrase: grochi
this is how my surname is pronounced in Spanish, but it's of italian origin. I'd like to know the original spelling of it. All I know is that the "chi" sounds originally as "ci" in the word "calcio" but I'm not sure of its spelling. Thank you
PS Since I don't know any Italian I would appreciate you answer in English.

Explanation:
Veo que eres Uruguaya, por lo que te contesto en castellano, aunque con años de retraso!! Por lo que leo, tu apellido es Grochi y es de origen italiano, por lo que si esa es la ortografia de origen, la pronunciación, a la española, sería Groqui.
