The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh
Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have The Key
All The Colors of the Dark
(I really got on a Sergio Martino kick for awhile)

It's not giallo but I want to recommend Sergio Martino's Alligator.

It's an amazing horror film. Not because of the Alligator. That looks cheap and fake. The scary part is the villagers turning on them for angering their river god. Plus the cinematography and the music are freaking amazing. Truly worth viewing if you can track it down. It's very psychological.

Off the top of my head:

Nothing Underneath
Spasmo (delightfully preposterous, with incredible music by Morricone)
Seven Blood-Stained Orchids (classic, with a killer Ortolani score)
What Have You Done to Solange?
The Bloodstained Butterfly
The Case of the Bloody Iris
Scissors (not Italian and starring pre-megastardom Sharon Stone, but 100% giallo and a damn good one at that)
The House with Laughing Windows

not exactly gialli but sharing common DNA:
Slap the Monster on Page One
Footprints
The Perfume of the Lady in Black (worth watching for the truly shocking ending)

 

[Burnt Offerings]

Seven Deaths in the Cat's Eye (1973)

Weird one featuring a dude in a gorilla suit and a gothic setting, check it out

Also, the classic Don't Torture A Duckling (1972), of course. I also quite liked Hitch Hike (1977), although that one is more of a traditional thriller, less in the classic "giallo" mode...still good though. I love some good 70s Italian thrillers/horror/sleaze!

Love Sergio Martino! Wasn't really a fan of All the Colors of the Dark (I don't like where there either aren't kills or they all happen off-screen) but both The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh and Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I have the Key were great. His The Case of the Scorpions Tail is one of my favourite giallo.
