First edition The Italian Game is a family of chess openings beginning with the moves: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3.

The Italian Game is one of the oldest recorded chess openings; it occurs in the Göttingen manuscript and was developed by players such as Damiano and Polerio in the 16th century, and later by Greco in 1620, who gave the game its main line.
