Actually, "Fumetti" is the italian translation of the word "Comics". It refers to the fact that speech ballons actually resemble little clouds of smoke, "Fumo" in Italian. Hence the origin of the term "Fumetti", "little clouds of smoke".

The store sign actually reads:

Crazy Comics & Games
Comics and games (in Italian)

it's a bit of a repetition, but you have to consider that Italian people, generally speaking, are not so fond of foreign languages.

Yeah, I googled the fumetti part because I was so puzzled by it. Speaking of foreign languages, I am very pleasantly surprised that it was an Italian sign that the word "crazy" appeared in.
