The G is silent, but it does indicate a slightly different pronunciation of L. Sonia touches on this in Level 1, session 14 tutorial regarding pronunciation of the gl combination. She discusses this sound in regards to Voglio.

It is sort of like a "lyee" sound like in 'million'. Try to hear the 'y' in there.

I agree with both, more of a lyee sound. Gli is probably the more annoying pronoun for learners because it's pronounced in a way that english speakers may have some trouble with. Once you keep hearing gli over the lessons; and especially in levels 4 and 5; it will be like second nature! Buona Fortuna!
