Yes, although it may be a bit outdated...

It's also remarkable that "libecciata" is when there is strong libeccio, and therefore things can get damaged. A coincidence? :-P

Well I was racking my brain trying to find a workable diminutive for Libeccio, but things like Libecciolo just sounded odd to me, so I dialed things in the other direction and picked Libecciata instead. Plus it's feminine!

Side note, what do you think about Chiglioscì?

It's a completely new word, congratulations!

Well, in fact, what Roma says in the first box here, is a very famous line from the cartoon movie Akira(1988 and 2001), you can google it youself.

And, the Italian aircraft carrier Aquila was remodeled from a passenger-ship which was also named Roma, while the name Aquila is pronounced almost the same in japan-style-english with the name Akira.

So maybe this is a two layered neta this artist placed in this pic.

Roma is not bothered with Libbe calling her Pasta ?

Not quite... "Aquila" is a little more than a bit different from "Akira", in pronunciation...

For reference:

Aquila (Italian): AAH-kwee-lah [ˈaːkwila]

Aquila (AmEnglish): uh-KWIL-luh [əˈkwɪli]
Aquila (BrEnglish): AK-kwuh-luh [ˈækwələ]

Aquila (Japanese):　ah-koo-ee-rah [akɯᵝiɾa] 「アクイラ」
Akira (Japanese): ah-kee-rah [akira]

Yeah, I agree with Historynerd here... they do sound quite different...

The Japanese themselves don't seem to show so much concern on the difference between [kw] and [k], they still call the Aquila アキラ, even on the related japanese wiki

I would love to thank the Italian-speaking translators of Danbooru for making me mentally read the Italian shipgirls' lines with a funny Italian accent.
