Meaning: Widespread in Lombardy, particularly in the provinces of Milan and Lecco, the name refers to as a specialized dictionaries chicken thief. De Felice (see bibliography ) even says that to steal the chickens, the chicken is enfumait to stun them before that they can shout, with wet leaves and sulfur. Hence the use of the verb "fumare".
