I thought they were actually slightly different things. Italian ice being much harder and water ice being softer. https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/08/1

There's no legal or culinary definition for any of these. You can call it sorbet, granita, water ice, or probably one of many other local names and it'll have similar ingredients, but maybe a different ratio or texture. You can't even get Italians to agree on what a granita should be.
