Sure, it's OK.
You'll rarely get it, though, because most players will answer 3. Bc4 with 3. ... Nf6, not 3. ... Bc5.
Evans gambit?
Sort:
If you want to play gambit, you have to be able do develop attack against yout opponents king. To learn it, you should study games of Paul Morphy and Adolf Anderssen.
I still play it, and it's fine. On a beginner level where pawns matter less you probably get many nice attacks.

Hello so I am a beginner that likes to play the Italian. I’ve seen some gothamchess videos showcasing the evans and I am wondering if this opening is good for beginners? Would a better response to the guicxo piano game be castling? regards
