Italian game for black less popular lines


I just ran across a video "Italian game for black less popular lines" offering


Italian game for amateurs explained. I explain here 7 less popular lines in Giuoco Piano...

I intended to make those openings as easy and short as possible since they are for players of ratings up to 1600 on FICS.

What is interesting is that the author covers the Jerome Gambit (without naming it), showing only two of the "modern" lines: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 and now 5.0-0 and 5.d4. There is no mention of the 5.Nxe5+ lines.
