Anna Cesaro Bruno, 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.

La Befana/Italian Foklore January 6th
La Befana Video animation.m4v
La Befana e' venuta a trovarci anche a Barnad School!
The Befana came to Barnard School too!
In Italian folklore, La Befana is an old woman who lives in a house in the hills of Italy and brings gifts to Italian children on Epiphany Eve, January 5.
In the weeks preceding Epiphany, the children of Italy are busy writing notes to La Befana telling her the presents they would most like to receive. Like any other legend, there are many versions. There is an abundance of sources to research the history, origin, significance and the numerous versions of la Befana - an Italian Christmas tradition.
“There are many stories about Old Befana. This is one of them”. Tomie De Paola (Author)
“ The Legend of the Old Befana”
La Befana is an old woman who lives in a house in the hills of Italy. She once had a husband and child, but now lives alone. Befana spends her days sweeping and baking. One night, Befana notices a bright light in the sky, she thinks nothing of it and goes back to her work of sweeping and baking. Later, a glorious caravan led by Three Wise Men stop and ask Befana for directions to Bethlehem and invite Befana to join them in their search for the Baby King. But Befana is too busy and knows nothing of this far-away place nor the birth of a special baby. After the caravan disappeared over the hills, Befana thought of how much she missed her child. She changed her mind and wanted to visit this special child, because she loves children very much. So she placed some baked goods and gifts for the child in a sack, took her broom to help the new mother clean and raced out after the caravan in search of the Baby King. Befana soon was lost. And just as she tired, angels appeared from the bright light, the magic star, in the sky to give flight to Befana on her broom - after all this was a night of miracles. She searched and searched for the Baby King. Befana still searches, even today, even after all these centuries. And so, every year on the eve of the Epiphany, whenever Befana comes to a house where there is a child, she drops in to see if it might be the child she seeks. It never is, but Befana leaves a gift anyway. For Befana has come to realize, over the years, that her searching is not vain, that in a way the Baby King can be found in all children.

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.
