Definition?

This may seem like a rather odd question, but my sister likes the Anime series Noir. One of the episodes is named Intoccabile Acts. Is this a French term or a Japanese term or neither. Does anyone know?

If not, thankyou none the less. I thought I might simply ask if anyone knew.

"Intoccabile" is certainly not a Japanese term, and by most chances I think it may be Italian - if it's not that then it's probably of another Latin-rooted language (or it could be completely made up). Though I remember someone from another board commenting that it could mean "Untouchable," which does make sense.

Just trivia: The opening song, Coppelia no Hitsugi, is actually based on an old fairy tale. XD Just sharing.

It is Italian and does indeed mean Untouchable.
