Julietta Indelicato
 I am so excited to introduce myself, Julietta Indelicato, and even more excited to have been chosen to work in this wonderful bi-lingual school Parliamo Italiano! I am very happy to be able to share what I have learned with your wonderful children, and I thank you for allowing me to become a small part in their daily lives here at the school. I was born and raised in Marin County. I recently graduated from San Francisco State University, earning the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Italian. I spent my entire junior year studying abroad in Florence, Italy. I am the daughter of Italian/American parents, my mother born and raised in San Francisco, and my father born and raised in the southern region of Italy, Sicily. Because of my heritage and upbringing, I am very familiar with the Italian way of life. I am also familiar with young children because of my huge extended family in Italy, and also since I have had experience as a nanny as well. I look forward to meeting all of you and working with you in this excellent school.
Arrivaderci!
