Although they're not quite the same as cineromanzi, I also think that Italian fotoromanzi are very interesting. Unlike cineromanzi, these photo novels are made specifically for being printed in magazines. They had their heyday back in the 50s, 60s and 70s and many of these were typically romantic women's magazines. There were still some more cult-ish mags too, like the Killing photo novels of the late 60s, which featured lots of pretty film starlets like Erna Schurer, Gabriella Giorgelli, Rosemarie Lindt etc in the early stages of their careers.
But even the more traditional fotoromanzi that were popular with female readers are pretty cool. I've found several of them really cheap on eBay and it's cool to see how many of them star George Hilton or Ivan Rassimov. Rassimov (who often acted in these under the name Gill Mayeron) is particularly cool to see because he usually played romantic leads - quite unlike his later villainous turns in cinema.
Here's Ivan on the cover of a fotoromanzo from 1964:
