se stessa
herself
In Italian, the reflexive pronoun 'se stessa' is used to refer back to the subject of the sentence, much like 'herself' in English. It is used when the subject is a female, and it is often used in sentences where the subject is performing an action on itself. For example, 'She sees herself in the mirror.' (Lei si vede allo specchio.)
