Actually a little more searching showed them being the same thing as a Devil's Kiss or Satan's Kiss - http://www.growitalian.com/pepper-piccante-calabrese-97-115/

With a bit of web surfing I found this, Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino, which seems to indicate austin87 nailed it except these are ripened to red before use. Reading through the entire page, which also has the recipe, it reports:
What is the region in Italy known for all things spicy?
Calabria, that’s where. Southern Italy. The lower part of the boot.
And in my humble opinion, one would be hard pressed to find a pepper that matches the sweetness and intense heat of the Calabrian chili pepper. Vibrant red with a combination of spicy, smoky and fruity flavor all in one little packed red punch. Hello, flavor party for your mouth!
Hope this helps!

Here's a list of a few Calabrian varieties, some not specific to the region.

I had some on pizza and they are NOT pepperoncini, way hotter.
Hello guys. Italian member here.
Not from Calabria, but saying "calabrian pepper" is like saying "mexican pepper", they grow hundreds of varieties there
Anyway, spicy oil is made the same way in all Italy: simply put dry chilis into a bottle of oil and wait a couple weeks. As long as it's hot, it's good on pizza!
The vast majority of Italian households use dry annuum that have very little taste, but of course you can use different varieties. Just keep in mind they might not all get along in the same way with pizza.
Important: Use perfectly dried peppers to keep safe from botulinum.
I hope that helps.

Welcome! Thanks so much for that info. You are right on, they grow several varieties of peppers in Mexico. What part of Italy are you from?elvez said:Hello guys. Italian member here.

I spent 2 months in Calabria in 2001 living with a friend's family. They lived in a little town in the mountains and this is the pepper that they grew... or something that looks pretty much the same. They were just like a small piri-piri and packed quite a punch for its size.

Yes this one, the "calabrese a mazzetti" is one of the most common. But I'd say it's bulkier than piri-piri.saugapepper said:
