The Italian Game is one of the oldest known chess openings, developed by players such as Damiano and Polerio in the 16th century, and later expanded on by Greco in 1620. It is an opening that has been comprehensively analyzed for more than three centuries.
The Italian Game, often called the Giuoco Piano, begins with the moves 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 and has ten codes in the Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings: C50–C54 for the Giuoco Piano, and C55–C59 for the Two Knights Variation.
