You refer to Salumi and then salami? Aren't these the same thing?

Nope.
Salumi is the italian word for cured and salted meats. Salumi include pancetta, prosciutto, salami, coppa, lonza, guanciale, spalla, lardo, etc

Sal​a​​mi are dry cured sausages. ( A single salami is actually called a salame - what for that to come up on Mastermind or University Challenge!)
