The Giuoco Piano is one of the oldest recorded chess openings from the early 16th Century. Also, sometimes called the Italian Game. White and black aim to develop quickly. A late 1800s hand from a religious statue in Italy holds the black bishop and readies it for play. Classic Russian-made chess pieces are pre-perestroika, likely early 1950s.
