Farfalla is an Italian equivalent of 'Vanessa'. Both words in Latin refer to 'butterfly'. But the word 'Vanessa' is specific to the red admiral butterfly. The feminine gender nouns 'farfalla' and 'Vanessa' take as their definite articles 'la' ['the'], and as their indefinites 'una' ['a, one']. They're pronounced 'fahr-FAHL-lah' and 'vah-NEHS-sah', respectively.
