Is anyone familiar with the first name "Giuditta" (Italian, female)?

Can you tell me how it is pronounced? Is it still in common use?

Perfect explanation! The accent would be on the 2nd syllable (DEET) and it is Judith. fierywoman Sep 2019 #8

Therefore it would be pronounced like Jewdeetta.
Doubt it is very common today.

It might be related to a familiar form of Judith for an Italian.
Just a thought.

I've heard it as "Judy-ta". There's a little extra "e" before the U, but I don't know that most Americans could manage that.
