Archangel does indeed look like a fun one. Lots of good options in the Ruy Lopez really. The Open Spanish and the Marshall gambit can be a lot of fun too.
Funnily enough I actually play the Italian as white, but I don't play the boring c3 d3 lines. After 3. Bc4 Bc5 I play 0-0 and on Nf6 play d4. exd4 e5 transposes to the Max Lange and Bxd4 Nxd4 Nxd4 Bg5 gets into the Italian gambit which is very sharp. My main issue is that on 4. 0-0 d6, d4 doesn't really offer much. I've been playing a "deferred Evans" with b4 and getting some fun positions that way though. I'm also working on learning the minutiae of 2. Bc4 so I never have play a Petrov ever again...
