Onomatopeiche are the words tha Have inside their sound the meaning of themself. There aren't the translations of the animal sounds (facepalm) but words like:
Fruscìo, that really remember the sound of something like a sneak in the leafs

I think 'chiacchierare' (to chat) is onomatopoeic

Animal sounds, for example:
Miao (cat)
Bau (dog)
Chicchirichì (rooster)
Coccodè (chicken)
Pio Pio (chick)
Cip Cip (bird)
Cloppete cloppete (horses hooves)
This is obviously just a portion of the umpteen onomatopoeia we have.
If you want something more specific, just ask!

And here I though onomatopoeia was Italian for "I want to go to the loo."
