More info: Italian comics are comics made in Italy. They are locally known as Fumetto (IPA: fu'metto), although this latter term is often used in English to describe a specific comic genre (see Fumetti). The most popular Italian comics have been translated into many languages. The term fumetto (literally little puff of smoke) refers to the balloon that contains the dialogs.
