She became a nun at a young age and met Beatrice I d'Este in the Santa Margherita Convent on mount Salarola (Calaone). She moved to the convent on the Giudecca in Venice where she rebuilt the church of San Cataldo with its monastic annex and became its abbess. She died in 1262 and was buried in the church's cemetery, although her body was translated to its current resting place in the church of Sant'Eufemia, Venice in 1822.
A church dedicated to the blessed Giuliana can be found in Brtnice, Czech Rep. on the former fideicommissum property of the Collalto house in Bohemia.
