Born in Adelaide, Australia, to Italian immigrant parents, Claudia Callisto is an Amazon Bestselling Author of the Book "The Good Italian Girl" and Fringe Artist. As early as age 17, Claudia felt the pressure from the unwritten cultural expectations of what it meant to be a 'good Italian girl;' stay close to home, get married, have a big family, look after every one and be the glue that holds everything together. Her journey demonstrates that you don't need to throw away the cultural traditions; you just need to create enough space to live life on your own terms. Claudia is now performing on stage sharing her cultural stories, experiences and comedy on the battles ethnic females faced with their immigrant parents to simply leave their homes to spread their wings.
