Giulietta

Giulietta is an Italian feminine given name. It is the Italian form of Juliet and is used as a standalone name in Italian-speaking communities. The name is closely associated with Shakespeare’s Juliet, and variations appear in Italian literary and cultural contexts.

Notable people with the given name include Giulietta Masina (1921–1994), an Italian film actress renowned for her collaborations with director Federico Fellini. Masina starred in films such as La Strada (1954) and Nights of Cabiria (1957), earning international recognition for her distinctive performances. Another prominent bearer is Giulietta Simionato (1910–2010), an Italian mezzo-soprano who had a long career on major opera stages around the world, including La Scala and the Royal Opera House.

Alfa Romeo Giulietta refers to a line of compact cars produced by the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo. The original Giulietta debuted in 1954 and became one of the most successful models of its era, influencing the design of subsequent Alfa Romeo compact cars. A later generation named Giulietta was launched in 2010, reviving the model name for a modern compact hatchback.

In Italian usage, Giulietta translates to Juliet and functions as a given name in its own right. The form is sometimes encountered in literature, film, and popular culture as a cultural reference to the Shakespearean character.
