Is Za Cia'uzza an accurate wording for Aunt Lucy?

Re: Aunt Lucy
In Italian it would be Zia Lucia. Is that what you are asking?

Re: Aunt Lucy
In Sicilian it would be "Za" like you have written or "Ziana".
My Neapolitan friends always refer to their aunt/s as "A Zi Lucia" or just "A Zi" but they grew up speaking dialect in another country. When they go back to Naples few people speak dialect anymore, just the older people. Not sure whether it is like that in Sicilia or not.
Our community from Basilicata region just said Zia Lucia or whoever.
