I play the classic Italian game 80% of my games unless someone starts with d4. I would like some ideas for another opening lines or ideas.

I can help you with your request very easily: Browse the 'Chess Openings' page of Wikipedia, it's a very comprehensive overview of every opening system under the sun.
I didn't thought Wikipedia had chess openings... Thank you I will check it
I've been really liking the French Advance as black lately, just because I read a book that had like four ideas that I could digest. Before that, I had read like half of an idea in the French one time. It's my current main weapon against 1. e4. My backup is the Caro-Kann, and I've felt pretty comfortable against most variations I run up against. The trickiest are the accelerated Panov (1. e4 c6 2. c4) and the Tal (1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 Bf4 4. h4) lines, so if you're thinking of playing the Caro-Kann, you'll want to prep something against those. I would play more Sicilian, but lately, I've just felt like I want to study more theory before I use it again -- and I'm spending more of my time studying endgames and pawn stuff right now, which seems more immediately useful than studying Sicilian stuff.
Probably as white, I'm really enjoying getting a Caro-Kann Fantasy (1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. f3) where black actually takes 3... dxe4. I used to play the King's Gambit, so white opening the f-file and putting pressure on f7 is familiar territory for me.
Italian Game is solid, but if you're looking for something else, maybe look into the Caro-Kann?
Thank you very much busterlark for your time. Yeah French and Caro-Kann seem to be very interesting openings nice suggestions!

I was keen on Queen's Gambit, years ago. I want to work my way back to playing it. It might be mad, but I'm working with other d4 openings atm with the aim of knowing where I'm at with transpositions.
