chessgid=1510634&move=4.5&moves=e4.e5.Nf3.Nc6.Bc4.Bc5.d4The Italian Gambit is a chess opening characterized by the moves

:1. :2. :3. :4.

It is often played as an alternative to the quiet and closed lines of the Giuoco Piano or Giuoco Pianissimo openings. Black may take with the pawn (a transposition to the Scotch Gambit, usually leading to the Max Lange Attack); the Knight, which is considered weak since it allows the strong 5.Nxe5 ( Attacking f7 with the Bishop and Knight), or with the Bishop, which is considered best.
