"Compassion" is an English equivalent of the Italian word pietÃ?. The feminine singular noun in question -- which most famously references a statue by Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (March 6, 1475 - February 18, 1564) -- also may be translated into English as "mercy," "piety" or "pity" according to context. The pronunciation will be "pyey-TA" in Italian.
