The Italian game starts after E4 E5 NF3 NC6 and BC4

Here we could play NF6 but we want to play actively and I recommend BC5 activating our bishop. Black here has two main moves C3 and 0-0, we will start with C3. Here you must play NF6 its the only move or else white will play D4 and control the entire center, the point is after D4 we take and we can respond to E5 with D5! counter attack! our plan in the end is to undermine whites center with F6 and pressure the knight on F3

Now lets cover 0-0.Here we can go D6 opening up our light squared bishiop and after D3 we play NF6 with a simple plan, we want to play BE6 QE7 and castle long and attack with H6 and G5!

I hope you enjoyed if you have any questions please ask in the comments I'd be happy to help.
