A message from Anna Cesaro Bruno, the Italian teacher.
My name is AnnaCesaro Bruno, I was born and raised in "Macchia di Montecorvino Rovella", a beautiful Italian village located few miles away from the Amalfi Coast. Teaching Italian is my passion! My creative interests, like art and theater, are combined in creative lesson planning where children participate and are motivated to learn the Italian language and culture. Children are actively involved in language through activities, games, art, music, and dance.
Barnard School provides students with an introductory FLEX (foreign language experience) model program. Research has shown that children who receive world language instruction benefit in many ways from early exposure to a second language.
Grazie!
My favorite quote: One hundred years from now, it will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in the bank, nor what my clothes looked like. But the world may be a little better because I was important in the life of a child.
Montecorvino Rovella: La montagna
Salerno: Il mare

A message from the Italian Fairy "Celebrating cultures together. There is a BIG message behind every single Parade. Cultures: that’s exactly what this World is about. And these wonderful human beings and great dancers and other 70 children honored with their talent the beauty of being together on the red carpet cheering for Italy today. Let's celebrate with gratefulness and appreciation all the countries in the world! That’s how PEACE and BEAUTY can grow, l believe.
Celebrare le diverse Culture tutti insieme. C’è un grande messaggio dietro ogni parata che va oltre i colori di una sola bandiera. Le culture: ecco di cosa è fatto il Mondo. E questi meravigliosi esseri umani e grandiosi ballerini con altri 70 bambini provenienti da diversi paesi, hanno onorato con il proprio talento la gioia di essere insieme sul tappeto rosso e festeggiare la bellezza dell’Italia. E ci sono ben altri 194 paesi nel mondo che hanno altrettante bellezze tutte da celebrare. Io credo che solo così la PACE possa crescere.
