I like the italian game, and I don't think it is worse than the ruy lopez unless you are looking at games of the stronger titled players perhaps.
So for all practical purposes, there should be nothing wrong at all with you playing it. Play what you enjoy and feel comfortable with.
i don't understand why the ruy lopez is white's best choice against 1.e4 e5
black does not have to play a6 and b5.
he also has a lot of options that probably lead to equality. i
don't understand why italian game is not equal to ruy lopez because they have similar pawn structure the Bishop on f1 goes to the same a2-f7 diagonal in both systems.
kings gambit has a lot of sharp lines. won't a black player have more problems in that if he does not know what is he is doing.
please explain.
