Penne means pen (or pencil), I think, and that's the shape of the
pasta. But, I'm not sure.

you can say penne.
I am under the *impression* penne may be marketed as ziti in the USA.

From the Ronzoni web site:
Penne Rigate Definition & Description: From the Latin for "feathers"
(reminiscent of old-fashioned quill pens) they are diagonally cut tubular
shapes with ridged surfaces. Best Uses: Versatile in size and shape, penne
takes only 6 minutes to cook! Use it in entrées, side dishes, soup, oven
bakes or cold salads. Most pasta sauces are great with penne, but thinner
sauces will cling to ridges in penne.

There's a taxonomy here:
Ziti: straight macaroni with a medium diameter (smaller is just
"macaroni" and bigger gets into the "manicotti" and "canneloni" range)
Penne or Penne Ziti: Ziti with the ends cut obliquely, like a quill
pen
Penne Rigate: Penne with ridges on the outside
Penne Lisce: Penne with a non-ridged surface
Rigatoni: Ziti with ridges on the outside and a straight-cut end
And, oh yeah, a couple of thousand years of spaghetti bending has made
it even more complicated than that:

No. It is impossible . Penne are these:

They can be "lisce or rigate" (Smooth or striped).
Ziti are these:
They are similar to "Bucatini" but with a bigger diameter. They generally
use them not long as they are, but broken in 4" pieces.

The shape of pasta "penne" it's more similar to a pen (pencil) not to a
plume :)

Nope. Penne is so named because it is representitive of a plume, a
quill pen (a pen made from a feather)... the modern pencil had not yet
been invented at the time of the penne designation for that particular
pasta configuration. I'll let yoose investigate the etymology for
pencil.
M-W
pen
noun
Etymology: Middle English penne, from Middle French, feather, pen, from
Latin penna, pinna feather; akin to Greek pteron wing -- more at
FEATHER

Thousands, try about 100 years... it was only a little more than 120
years ago that the first extruded/tubular pasta was made.... previously
the 'talians made only cut flat pasta (cut by knife and wires), not
even 'ghettis were dreamed up yet. Of course for thousands of years
the orientals produced long noodles entirely by hand, using no tools
whatsoever, by intricate stretching techniques. The first pasta
extrusion dies were made in trhe US in 1903.

Correct. The pencil (wooden sheath and graphite) was invented in 1795.
"Goose pen" (feather with properly cut hollow shaft or calamus [hence the
italian word "calamaio" for ink pot]) is far more acient.

You too trying to teach italian cuisine to our American friends? ;-)
I'm from Milan. Thus, with my friends from Naples and Taranto (not to
mention the ones from Tuscany, Emilia and Veneto) we can cover at least 7
regions :-)
> BTW I meant investigations on penne:)
What else to know? Penne were first made in Gragnano (Naples) between 1600
and 1800. There's no patend pending and no offficial birth date ;-)

Sheldon you ignorant burger flipper.
Note clear depiction of extrusion at bottom of machine.
The first mention of the word "spaghetti" in /english/ was in 1849.
Who knows how long the Italians were using the words spaghetti
("string") and spago ("cord") to refer to long, thin noodles before
that.
You are so fucking sad.
