First the Italian-English dictionary of WordReference (https://www.wordreference.com/iten/ followed by the word): testa, capello, occhio, orecchio, naso, bocca, collo, spalla, petto, braccio, gomito, polso, mano, dito (finger and toe), pancia, stomaco, gamba, ginocchio, caviglia, piede, corpo and parte. Second the Vocabolario Treccani of the Istituto della Enciclopedia Italiana (https://www.treccani.it/vocabolario/ followed by the word; testa1 and collo1 for the two that have more than one entry): the same words, with the plurals le braccia, le dita, le ginocchia and le mani, and pancia given as a synonym of ventre.
