The Italian game
Sort:
Guys I love The Italian game(1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4). I think it is the best opening in the world. I also recommend this for beginners and intermediate players.
This opening has many tricks and traps Including the the dangerous fried liver attack and tracker counter attack. The are basically 2 popular moves after playing the Italian game there is the giucou piano game (Bc5) the 2 knights defense (Nf6). In the Italian game you can castle very quickly. Comment down an interesting fact about this amazing opening.
Ha-ha -ha

Very solid but it's not the best opening, 3 Bb5 (The Ruy Lopez) is slightly better and preferred among grandmasters

Yeah, I believe Paul Keres once argued that the move 3. Bc4 is just too slow. Some people even argue that it's a waste of a tempo lol. Personally, I enjoy the Ruy Lopez more.

Actually nowadays at super GM level Italian is more common than Spanish mainly because of Berlin defense. But of course super GMs don’t play Italian the same way as intermediate players.
