Little Experiment!

I believe this came from some variation of the italian game, please correct me if I'm wrong. In this position, I would probably play Nb3, preparing for d4 and taking control of the center. Black trading bishop is no problem for white, and white will get another central pawn and an open rook. Blacks open rook has the same advantage, but with reasonable play, white could counter it.
You are right. This is from the Giuoco Piano opening and you didn't need an explanation but OK!

I agree: before exposing the pawn it's better to centralize the knight.
I made up this experiment myself but idk how to make analysis for it since I'm not a scientist or expert at chess.


Just say what you would play in this position as White in the comments, and feel free to help me know what I can analyse from people's decisions!
