Italian game is much richer, with early d4 and all the gambits and so on. Which is also cool for many players!

Excellent Blog! I'm trying to be a Master of Italian Game. Your Blog help me so much!
Italian players invented the Giuoco Piano, also known as the Italian Game, but also discovered the gambits (derived from 'gambeta', a foul made by some football players to cause an opponent stumble and fall). Gambits preclude rapid, violent, hazardous games, while Giuoco Piano means slow development of the game.
