check out some of fabiano caruana games with italian
he doesnt push but usually goes d3 and it starts to resemble a kind of ruyish lopez; the rest of the italian games all deviate after Bc4

The Italian is a classical opening. You are not going to run into any odd GM moves until ~move 10 or so. There is no reason to study lower level games in the Italian.

You can start with old masters to get started. I would suggest starting with Emanuel Lasker.

Okkay thanks... 😊
