I Dont no a great deal about the pro's (Grandmasters if u like) and i was wondering if there is a grandmaster that really favours the Giuoco Piano?......

I think Roman Dzindzichasvili favors it,and I'm sure there are other GM's.Just not the absolute top players,I guess,though I'm not sure,I don't really follow their games.

Because the main line is 1e4 e5 2Nf3Nc6 3Bc4Bc5 4c3Nf6 5d4 exd4 6cxd4 Bb4+ and now the Molle gambit 7Nc3 or the usual 7Bd2 Bxd2+ 8Nbxd2... this is the main line
