Typically Italian is probably this incomparably rich selection of pasta in the cupboard of the common Italian. Even students do not just cook spaghetti, as this photo of my Couchsurfing trip 2010 shows. There are strict rules, because not every sauce fits every form and the tradition does not allow any compromises. Chickpea soup, broth or tomato sauce, ragout or pesto, pasta short or long, narrow or wide, round or angular. A science in itself.
