As part of its ongoing “From Where We Come” oral history project, Revere Public Schools celebrated Italian American Heritage Month with a new episode highlighting the stories, traditions, and contributions of Italian Americans within the school community. The series, which uplifts the voices of staff, students, and families, explores how cultural heritage continues to shape identity, inspire learning, and strengthen community pride.
In the latest episode, educators and students reflected on their Italian roots and the values that continue to influence their lives. Maria Valentini Breto, a first-generation immigrant from Abruzzo, Italy, shared her journey of moving to the United States at age eight and the challenges of adjusting to a new culture and language.
