At your chess level, you could be playing a power house of an opening!
You could be playing the Fried Liver Attack.
Why even bother with a sad line like the Ponziani?
Ponziani is useful to trade your c-pawn for your opponent's e-pawn and many people at beginner level don't know how to counter it.
I recommend it, you can play it for low rated games but in high-rated games, you have to be careful.
Just be aware of 3. Nf6 and you will be ok.
