I've been playing with the giuoco piano recently, having decided that my dependency on the queen's gambit isn't fruitful.  I think this game helps to show that the name, giuoco piano (quiet game) is somewhat ironic.  With my limited experience of the opening, and my limited skill at chess, i would recommend this opening for its ease of use and theory.
Any comments are welcome; I'm looking forward to using this at chess club tomorrow, and any suggestions or comments would be very helpful.

Actually, I'm not sure the line you give after 15... Kxf7 works, because Black would then have 18... Qf3.

Yeah, I can't fight my way out of the attacks Qf3 entails, and i wouldn't have been prudent enough to consider that if he had played through that line.  I suppose i shouldn't celebrate a win that rests on "I'm glad he didn't see that." = \
