Name of this Italian Pastry?

[MarieVolbeda]

I am posting this for a member of a Portuguese forum . Need help identifying this Italian pastry.

Thanks,
Marie

"My Portuguese grandmother made an Italian pastry (sort of anisette
biscotti). I remember watching as she shaped the dough into intricate
baskets, bunnies, etc. My question is re what she called it. It sounds
like (Rishh-kee-lee-ah). No English translation. I can't find a word (or
multiple words?) like that in my dictionaries and guessing at random
spelling attempts on Google Translate isn't working. "

Why was your Portuguese grand-mother making Italian pastries? Did she have some connection to a region in Italy? If so, which one? All of the regions in Italy have their own traditional pastries, cakes, pies, even pasta. So if we had a region, maybe somebody could pin it down.

Thanks, however, the mystery has been solved. This was the Portuguese version of an Italian recipe for this type of pastry. It was called rosquilha--so not an Italian name.
