Formaggi is the Italian word for "cheeses," referring to a wide variety of cheeses produced in Italy. Each region of Italy has its own specialty cheeses, ranging from soft and creamy varieties like mozzarella and ricotta to hard and aged cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano and Pecorino. Formaggi can be enjoyed on their own, paired with wines, or used in various Italian dishes. The art of cheese-making in Italy is deeply rooted in tradition and regional practices.
The cheese "trio" is a blend of the three most prominent Italian hard cheeses; parmesan, romano and asiago.

Italian Pastas and Italian Cheeses
Lombardy is known for several distinctive cheeses, with Gorgonzola being one of the most famous blue cheeses originating from the region. Additionally, Taleggio, a semi-soft cheese with a strong aroma and creamy texture, is also produced here. Other notable cheeses include Grana Padano, a hard, aged cheese similar to Parmesan, and Quartirolo Lombardo, a semi-soft cheese with a mild flavor. These cheeses reflect the rich dairy tradition of Lombardy in Italian cuisine.

Antipasto, it means "before the meal".
The four cheeses for manicotti are ricotta mixed with grated parmesan, grated pecorino romano, and the manicotti itself topped with mozzerella. Those are the standard 4 Italian cheeses. Good Luck!
Cheeses that have holes have them because of carbon dioxide gas. Not all cheeses have holes because not all cheeses have the same texture, so in some cheeses holes are not made.
