Can we use "as to me" to mean the same thing as "as for me" when we want to say: "Regarding me?"
For example: As for me, I am a teacher of Italian. Can we say: As to me, I am an Italian teacher.

As for NOUN PHRASE is the English marked topic construction. You can use it to explicitly mark the topic at the beginning of a sentence, like in your example:
You wouldn't always want to use this phrase, but it makes sense in the right context, for example to show a contrast between two topics:
Here we have an unmarked topic and a marked topic contrasting with each other, so as for is appropriate in this context. By explicitly marking the topic with as for, you draw attention to the contrast.
However, if you change the words in this phrase, you no longer have a marked topic construction. The words as to me are grammatical but have no special grammatical significance or meaning. They would work as part of a comparative construction:
In this example, we're comparing how much Linda speaks to two different people: herself and me. In this sort of example it would be grammatical and make sense, but it isn't anything like as for me and isn't something people say particularly often.
So it can be grammatical, but your example doesn't work:
As to NOUN PHRASE can't be used in the intended meaning, so I've marked the example with a * to show that it is unacceptable.
