I haven't been able to find a massive cover gallery for Italian Gialli, but I've picked some up here and there. Giallo means yellow, referring to the color of the cover of post-war mystery novels. The term was later used to refer to Italian horror movies. There's the usual damsel in distress and bondage themes, but there's another running theme I see here.
I'll let you make your own joke about loud Italian women.
Thanks for the covers. Some of the Giallo movies were made by directors of spaghetti westerns and Euro-crime films.
