Mikey Chen AKA Strictly Dumpling. Normally his food tours trend toward Asian street food, but he's posted several videos recently from Italy. This shape looks fun:
Also, as a side note, this topic makes me a little sad, because it's one of the ones started by Fat Guy that still lives on. It was 15 years ago, living in India, when I bought his book and got hooked on eGullet. It was such a joy to follow him, as he'd talk about walking around to 'build up a calorie deficit' before a big meal. I still use that excuse! Sorry for the topic swerve.
The bag I have says “Gigli”; Google also says “Campanelle’ and “Riccioli”. The shape is a bit ‘fussy’ for my taste but my 5 year-old granddaughter loved them.
