The German language website Schachfeld has discussion and analysis on many openings, including the Italian game.
It even includes the infamous Amateur - Blackburne, London 1885, Jerome Gambit game, including side posts mentioning 7...Qe7, Whistler's Defense, and the improvement 10.Qd8.
My German skills are not good, but I think the Jerome Gambit is referred to as the "most impudent" attack in the Italian game.
Sounds about right to me.
