I can Share full notation If anybody wants .
@chit , chess puzzles are generally positions Who seems equal , but You can win by a series of move . As win , winning a piece or more , checkmate , or a winning endgame .
Alternatively , it is possible You try Defend a position in a chess puzzle , Find True moves or you will lose . Generally this puzzles are harder than winning puzzles , because defending is almost always harder than attacking .
Personally I like d4 more because it's more aggressive and I don't have to deal with the Sicilian Defense(even though I love playing that defense as black), but e4 is better if you wanna go for a closed game, which gives you a higher chance of getting draws.

Actually it is opposite . d4 generally goes to closest openings , when e4 generally goes to open openings .

Proof?
Burden of proof.
The most popular queen's pawn opening is the queen gambit The most popular king's pawn opening is the ruy lopez
I play the italian too. You should try different openings, and find the ones you feel most comfortable with. I know some theory about the italian, because I've played it a lot. My dutch rating is 1650 elo, which is club level. To be fair, a lot of my opponents in our chess club play d4. E4 has a much more attacking opening style, d4 is more positional. My advice is, if you like attacking, try e4 openings. If you like positional play, try d4 openings.
Playing 3 Bc4 isn't just about attacking the f7 pawn. It's about attacking the kingside as a whole. f7 and f2 are the weakest pawns in the starting position, because it is defended the least amount (only by the king) and is very close to the king.
Moving the f7 pawn in the opening is usually not a good idea. Most importantly because it weakens the kingside. The e8-h5 is now open and it leaves vulnerability. For example, playing the f2 pawn is one of the moves in the shortest game possible: 1f3 e5 2g4 Qh4 checkmate. Also, moving the f pawn only one square during the opening phase, makes your knight harder to develop. The knight on g8 natural square is f6, but it's not possible if its occupied by one of your pawns. The f7 pawn is also a key square in the scholar's mate, which you can fool a lot of beginner's with, but it's not very usefull against players that know how beyond the basics in chess.
Also, after 3Bc4, there is some room to play either ng5, which is the fried liver attack (look it up it's a very cool attack) or simply playing d4 to claim more space. if 3Bc4 Bc5 I like to continue with the evans gambit playing 4b4 which will result in a great attack on the kingside (the queen will join soonly) and it can lead to a very short game if black doesn't play perfect.
