Just cracked the case of my chess opening repertoire vs the Italian Game

I've been diving deep into true crime podcasts and somehow it made me realize my chess openings needed a revamp... I was getting checkmated by my own moves. Listened to a recent episode on the BTK killer and it got me thinking about strategic patterns. So, I decided to switch up my white pieces' starting moves. Switched from the King's Pawn to the Italian Game. Ran some test games on Lichess, 5/5 wins so far... FWIW, my opponent pool is mostly <1500 rated. Anyone else use the Italian Game? What's your favorite line?...
