The term "paparazzi" refers to independent photogs who snap pictures of celebs and high-profile people. What language does the word derive from?

The term "paparazzi" is derived from a news photographer called Paparazzo, played by Walter Santesso, in Federico Fellini's 1960 film La Dolce Vita. According to Robert Hendrickson, Fellini derived the name from an Italian dialect term for an especially vexing noise, that of a buzzing insect.
