A character who does not appear in the original novel. Instead, she appears in The Unexplained Inigo Fragment, which is part of the Buttercup's Baby chapter that Goldman included in the 25th anniversary edition of the book. Giulietta is the daughter of a count, but she always disguises herself as a servant girl in order to get a true measure of what people think of her and how those people will act when they don't know who she is. She falls in love with Inigo after hearing his story, and when he is with her he feels the first true happiness he has felt since the murder of his father. The Fragment ends with the description of Inigo's happiness, and Giulietta is not mentioned again.
