Accent on italian keyboard

I cant seem to write the capital é. It says online to click option+e but that gives me €, and option+shift+e=È. option+'=¡ which is not what i need either. Can anyone help me?

Hello Ax_mac,

Press and hold the shift and E keys. You should then see a small popup window offering a choice of accented capital E's.
