Well, this game won't show you how to defend against the Italian, but it will show you what NOT to do! For instance, his 15th move is a blunder and he needs to play one of the Knights to f4 on move 15, the g-Knight being the stronger move, but he's not lost after the h-knight goes there.

Wow, thanks for that. This is particularly what I needed. A Black's perspective on all those standard, boring, yet full of landmine/tricks/easy pitfalls e4/Four Nights/Italian/Guico openings you see constantly as white from 1000-1800 in clubs and coffee house settings. We can spend a week working through the complexities of some top level opening, and still fall into a long forgotten trap in a club if we aren't careful. One of the reasons I wanted to improve in the Sicilian is to avoid the boring, mind numbing monotony of the standard e4/knights out/bishops setup. But with this, there might be new life to them as Black.
This game rocks!
