using rectangular tiles
I'm not really sure whether the posa rettangolare refers to the shape of the tile of the fact that it is set at right angles to the wall /not diagonally)
I would suggest:
set square to the wall, in a staggered pattern

Brick
Also called the running bond, staggered, or offset pattern, the brick layout is another popular choice not only for kitchens, but for living room areas as well. While both the straight lay and diagonal layouts form grid patterns, the brick layout does not. Instead, the tiles are offset such that their edges do not join to form straight lines. To get this pattern going, stagger each row of tiles so that the grout line formed by two adjacent tiles would be lined up with the center of the tiles immediately above and below their row.
This layout may use square tiles, or rectangular ones sized 12×24 inches. This pattern is especially useful for uneven surfaces and floor areas where you need to hide imperfections, as it will not demand the same straight-line precision as the straight lay pattern.
