Lived 1870 – 1957 (aged 86–87). Giulia Civita Franceschi was an Italian.
Giulia Civita Franceschi (Naples, 1870 – 27 October 1957) was an Italian educator. From 1913 to 1928, she founded and educated street children of Naples on the kindergarten ship Caracciolo. 750 scugnizzi (underclass Neapolitan street children) were rescued and educated with her own method, becoming "citizens".

The Caracciolo was a corvette built in 1869 and donated by the Italian navy in 1913.
