Small, white/yellow ball peppers - "monkey eyes"?

Hello, I'm new around here. I just registered to ask for help in identifying a pepper I bought earlier this year out of curiosity. I'm from Italy, and over here this plant is called "occhi di scimmia", which means "monkey eyes". It produces many small pepper balls, coming out light green and then evolving towards light yellow/white. Some of them are of a very light salmon color. This is a picture I took at the first fruits in early July:

I've done some searching and found similarities to Habanero Christina, but it doesn't like to be the same shape. Should be a chinense however, I think.
 
Can anyone please help me to identify it? And also suggest the better use for them! :) Many thanks in advance!
 
Thanks! So its real name is just "Capezzoli di Scimmia"? No international name? What could be their best use? They're pretty hot but not excessively... I'd say around the same hotness of a jalapeno. But the taste is quite acrid, so I don't know to do with them. Maybe just use them dried?
 
Edit: I've found Charapitas too which look like these, but they end up being a strong yellow, while mine stay pale, almost white.
