Recent observations show that spiral galaxies are surrounded by massive and extended haloes of both neutral and ionized gas. These gaseous haloes have peculiar kinematics with respect to their discs: they rotate more slowly and they show an overall inflow motion. Theoretical models of the formation of these gaseous haloes show that they cannot originate solely from a galactic fountain (supernova outflows from the disk); substantial accretion of material from the Intergalactic Medium should play an important role.
