Usage Note
Tetta is an informal, colloquial word for a woman's breast; it is not clinical (seno is the neutral term) but is not the most vulgar option either — register is roughly equivalent to English 'tit.' The plural le tette is common in everyday informal speech. The diminutive tettina also means a baby's bottle teat.
