Buenos días a todxs:

Os escribo porque quisiera saber cómo traduciríais al italiano el término "abuelaza", en el sentido de "jefa" o "persona que manda". He pensado en varias opciones, entre ella el neologismo "nonnazza" pero suena un poquito irónico, ¿no os parece? Creo que sería algo más parecido a "matriarca" o "anziana".
¿Qué opináis?
Gracias de antemano y ¡qué tengáis un bien día! :)

nonnazza


Explanation:
Hola! Visto que tu traducciòn es de caracter literario y en este sentido decir matriarca, me suena un poco riguroso, yo optaria por nonnazza que quiere decir que es una gran mujer, de mando, que ha sabido ser no solo mamà y abuela sino màs, es grande! Me explico?
Te mando unos links que espero te sean utiles.

Buen trabajo!
