Generically, the Italians use the term "flauto" for "Flute".
In the Renaissance, the flute didn't get the title of 'flute' at all, though: the recorder was called "flauto diritto" while the flute proper was called fiffaro. Variants on the recorder included "flauto dolce", and the term 'piffaro' was used throughout the continent in Queen Elizabeth I's time. Generally, in this period, it was more common to play instruments in families, rather than in "broken consort", mixing instruments from other families.
By Handel's and Vivaldi's time, in the Baroque period, the recorder and flute were fully used side-by-side, and he was careful to differentiate between the recorder and the flute held 'across' the body, the traversia. Before about 1720, Italians didn't seem to make much clear difference between the transverse flute and the recorder, after this, the flute was generally known for its playing position, or its association with Germany.
As the recorder fell out of use, flauto traversie eventually was shortened to flauto, which is retained on modern Italian scores.
