The US decision to impose an extra duty of more than 90% comes as the US Department of Commerce accuses two major Italian producers of selling pasta at unfairly low prices.
Italy's foreign minister has denied this characterisation and says a dedicated task force had been set up to coordinate Italy's response with the European Union, which is running trade policy on behalf of the bloc.
The new tariffs would raise the effective rate on most premium Italian pastas to 107%.
Coldiretti, Italy's influential agribusiness association, has warned that, as well as being a fatal blow for some Italian pasta producers, it would double the cost of a plate of pasta for American families.

People in the crowd here tell me they feel this is a moment to say enough is enough.
And it also marks a stark difference in opinion that the public feels compared to Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Meloni's position.
