The Civilettis both attended Catholic school
when they were children. Hortense graduated from Bayley-Ellard Catholic
High School in Madison. Robert grew up in New York City and attended
Mary Help of Christians School, where Sister Dominica Di Peri was his
first-grade teacher.
He still clearly remembers being corrected by
Sister Dominica as she played the piano during class one day. She used
to keep a bicycle mirror on top of the piano so she could keep an eye on
her class; however, the students did not seem to realize she could see
them. When Robert asked how Sister Dominica knew that he was
misbehaving, she simply told him, "God told me."
