Here is a plausible continuation after 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 exd4 4 Bc4:
4...Nf6 5 O-O Bc5 6 e5 d5 7 exf6 dxc4 8 Re1+ Be6 9 Ng5 ...
I do not think that one is likely to find much about that in a book about 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 exd4 4 Nxd4.
The scotch game is very practical and sound both are attacking but scotch game can turn wild and good if you know the ideas and concepts in some variations it gets very wild and if you know the plans and concepts you will surely gain an advantage
https://lichess.org/study/EgQaJYeO/tmGH1Ofe variations like this can turn crazy and If equipped with a middlegame plan and repertoire this is definitely what you need as an attacking player
The rook goes to h3 and swings over to different squares on the queen side with very strong attacks and complicated game plans if you feel like watching a GOOD course on it contact me personally for recommendations

> If white does not play c3 at some point in the Scotch Gambit, or take the pawn on d4 (making it no longer a scotch gambit, but a worse version of the scotch game) they are usually much worse. You need to play c3 to remove the pawn on d4 in most lines. Transposition to Guicco is the standard and best way to play it after Bc5
Okay....so if I play the scotch game I won’t be able to convert it right?!

I heard about Ng5 line?

This sounds impressive...and I think it’s rare to play the move h4 will make it gain points...

Is it covered in a book or something? So that I can prepare it...?

Feel free to try out the Scotch but if you want to try something more daring while staying within the Italian Game family you also really ought to try out the Evans Gambit and c3, d4 Italian (instead of c3, d3). Both are very aggressive and tactical variations that start fighting for the center and threatening kingside attacks immediately.
