Parmesan is and is not the same as Parmigiano.
Parmesan cheese is a term commonly applied for commercial purposes outside of Italy to Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, one of Italy's finest.
Parmigiano Reggiano is a DOP product which means it is protected by European Law and only the cheese made from the zone of Parma and nearby can be classed as the real thing.
Parmesan cheese is, therefore, a cheap imitation.

The question is mixing the names. I believe it should be Parmesan - Reggiano and Pecorino - Romano. The are two different varieties of hard cheese with the Roman being sharper (saltier?) than the Parmesan. Both are used for grating but the Parmesan can also be used on a cheese tray as thin slices or "shaved" into a salad by using a potato peeler.
