Hi I’m Gianna Panebianco, I’m 15 years old and in my freshman year at Elkhorn High School. I find myself happiest when I am performing for our schools Varsity show choir, rehearsing for the school musical, competing with speech team, and enrolled in art enrichment classes. I also love spending time with my family, extended family, and friends! I have been attending Santa Lucia since I was a baby and was even a flower girl twice. Once for my aunt Gina (Pane) Sanford, and again for my cousin Gina Troia. My Dad and Nonno have been coming since they were kids as well. I’m so excited to run for queen this year with my little sister, Sofia Panebianco, as my flower girl! I love this festival so much, for all of the traditions, community, music, and of course, the food!
