Carly September 19, 2017 at 2:15 am My papa used to call me the term for witch, however he didn’t pronounce it Strega. It was more (zan-gah-da) One time I remember he spelled it but I cannot remember how. He added an “I” in there if that helps. He was a little illiterate in Italian just curious if there are any other slang terms for witch in Italian.
