When Black chooses to hold his pawn by developing his dark-square bishop to c5, he transposes into the ancient Giuoco Piano, Italian for ''the quiet game''. That name, however, fails to describe some of the tactical turns the opening can take!

I really like the Nakhmanson Gambit, as it's really easy to learn, and you just have so much potential. With perfect play by black, it is a draw though, but they have to play computer moves, and even Stockfish 12 can't beat/draw it! It also comes out of the Itallian! I recently made a video on this, and you can find it right over here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n8TAR69EyY
