Giallo is a type of (Italian) who dunnit film that has certain tropes and charactertics - stylish camera work/lighting, disguised/black gloved killer, protagonist in the role of amateur detective.
Killer usually is revealed to be crazy through something that happen to them.
Obviously not all Giallo films have all of these but these are the building blocks of the genre.
