Thanks! I believe that's exactly the one...Do they have any heat at all? I'm looking for a tapered pod, mild-to-medium Italian type. My wife wants the ones she saw David Rocco using on his "Dolce Vita" TV show...

Hi Gary!
Peperone di Senise is also known as Peperone Crusco when dried.
Is sweet and delicious, a well known italian heirloom variety from Basilicata region.
They have thin skin and a low water content so are very nice to dry/powder or fry.

I've no seeds sorry! Maybe some italian fellow can help

I also got mine from Rainbow. No heat.

Thanks guys! The Peperone di Senise sounds like an awesome pepper....

It seems like most of the real popular Italian peppers are large, sweet (no heat) types, but I believe there at least a couple of spicy ones...?

Hey Fabrizio, is this legit?

I believe there at least a couple of spicy ones...?

Sure, check for "Calabrese" types
Calabria is a well known italian region for hot peppers.
Also there are many other hybrids developed here.
An excellent example is Azienda Stuard, check the site (maybe with some help from google translator, the english site seems buggy):
