As an Italian myself, that's fusilli, rotini is some made-up foreigner name you eventually use to look original with whoever isn't Italian. In Italy nobody would know what rotini is

Rotini pasta ? In Italy there is no information about it, I only found sites in English that talked about it. Moreover, on Barilla's Italian website they do not exist. They say they come from the south but they don't say exactly where. Curious as what! Here in Italy we have fusilli with various shapes, even with the shape of the rotinifusilli made in Italy

yes.

>The word "fusilli" is sometimes incorrectly used to describe another twisted pasta called rotini. The key to distinguishing the two is to remember that fusilli is made of strands of pasta twisted into little spring-like shapes, while rotini is typically extruded into a twisted shape. Rotini is more common in the U.S. and is produced by all major pasta manufacturers. The two can be swapped in recipes with similar results.
