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." ;-)
