Weak early game ?! why would u even think that they require less food to age up and that can mean either passing quicker trough ages or puting the saved resorces into either scout rush/archer rush or knith rush in the castle age... true enough they arent what u call awesome till u reach castle age but from that point onward they can counter everything extreemly well having arguably on of the best ranged units sets of any civ(genoes vs cav, 20%discounted handcans vs infantry and full skirm(along with the high hp&armor genoese)vs ranged) and decent cav&discounted bcans vs siege... as long as u don't run out of gold there is very little u need fear as an italian player aside from an all in feudal rush from a civ like mongols/huns...
