I’m playing the Spanish.. just go with an opening that throws the opponent off prep really really fast. I used to play the e.4 four knights and the games just lead to a lot of complications. I always play 10mins rapid. If you are playing bullet go with openings that won’t lead you to calculate much. For now Ruy Lopez is doing the job for me..pretty straight forward from the beginning.. make sure to learn traps and variations for the Italian since you are playing it anyway.. I hope that helps :)
Italian is good at any rating. Keep playing it and accumulating experience.

Is there any examples that throw of opponents
Looking for cheap wins is weak a posture.
You'll begin most of your games by a disapointement. No vain hope, no disapointment.
As a chess player trying to improve and become good enough, you should be ashamed of any lazy or impatient thoughts and feelings. Chess is first of all a victory over yourself.

Learn a few openings for black and white. Be good at them so u can handle unforseen moves.
Check these openings for White. They are aggressive but sound.......and definitely not boring...

Give a look at some them, test them in games and see what suits best your play.
Want fire on the board, give the King's Gambit a try.
The Vienna Game & Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 etc.)...
By virtue of including 2.Nc3, (the initial purpose of which is to contest/control the d5 square, discouraging its occupation by the opponent's d7-d5) the Vienna G. & G. is considered to be an improved version of the King's Gambit. It is one of the more aggressive and exciting openings for White....designed primarily as a Kingside attacking weapon..... great, fun opening especially for speed chess games - bullet, blitz, rapid...

Play the scotch for white its very fun, or play the knight focused opening maybe like petrov or something.
Just learning the traps doesn't mean you've even come close to learning to play the Italian correctly. It is a rich opening with lots of theory and different ideas at the top level. The fact that we have seen it in the candidates already is telling of it's staying power.
The Italian is an opening that can serve you for your whole chess career if you put in the time. I find one of the problems beginners have is that they constantly switch openings. Stick to a few lines and learn them well. You can come to rely on these openings in important games.
Also don't rely on traps as stronger players will not generally fall into them. If you must pick a different opening to keep playing chess, you can play the King's Gambit, Vienna, Danish Gambit, Ruy Lopez, they will all serve you will for a long time. You can easily hit 2000+ with any of these openings!
One of the more important aspects is to not just focus on openings, tactical exercises are of extreme importance. This extends beyond doing puzzle rush; but working with a good puzzle book such a The Woodpecker Method, Chess: 5334 Problems, Combinations and Games, The Complete Chess Workout: Train Your Brain with 1500 Puzzles among others is more important then any opening work you do. If you have a strong tactical foundation you will see the traps your opponents set even without knowing the theory.
If you eventually want to try to dive into endgames I would recommend Silman's Endgame Course due to the concepts being broken up by rating or try 100 Endgames You Must Know.
I know this has veered off quite a bit from opening suggestions but if you want to see actual chess improvement which comes from more than just a opening switch this is what I would recommend.

I play Italian as well, and I too am in the 900s. I would suggest playing Ruy Lopez, Vienna, or Scotch Game. If you want some spice, Scotch Game is kind of mild with the others not having any spice, but if you want it to be off-beat, I would suggest King's Gambit, which not a lot of players (especially at our rating) are educated at, as it is an older opening.
