Italian noblewoman (8)

I believe the answer is:

contessa

'italian noblewoman' is the definition.
(Italian countess)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for contessa that I've seen before include "High-ranking female" , "noble foreign lady" , "Italian noblewoman" , "European noblewoman" , "Italian lady" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
