Biographies[edit]
Antonio Todde[edit]
Antonio Todde (22 January 1889 – 3 January 2002)[8] was an Italian supercentenarian who, at the time of his death, was the oldest man in the world.[23] Todde was born in the village of Tiana, in the province of Nuoro, Sardinia,[24] an area noted for its centenarian density.[25] Born to a poor shepherd family in the medieval center of Tiana, Todde was the third of 12 children. In 1920, he married Maria Antonia, then aged 25, and they had four daughters and a son. She died in 1990, aged 95.[26] He left Sardinia only to fight in the First World War,[23] where he was injured in the shoulder by a grenade.[27] He died at age 112 years, 346 days on 3 January 2002.
Venere Pizzinato[edit]
Venere Pizzinato (married Papo, 23 November 1896 – 2 August 2011)[28] was an Italian supercentenarian,[2] living to the age of 114 years, 252 days. At the time of her death she was the oldest person ever from Italy,[29] a title she held until 13 December 2011 when she was surpassed by Dina Manfredini. She was the world's third oldest living person, behind Besse Cooper and Chiyono Hasegawa. Pizzinato was also the oldest person ever to have been born in the Austro-Hungarian empire. She was the oldest person ever to be born and die in Italy, until being surpassed by Emma Morano on 9 August 2014.[30]
She was born in Ala, Trentino, then part of the Austro-Hungarian empire, on 23 November 1896. In 1902 the family moved to Verona, where they had relatives. In 1903, the family moved back to Trentino, where Pizzinato attended a boarding school in its capital city, Trento. World War I forced Pizzinato to take refuge in Bazzano, Bologna. After the war, she moved back to Milan where she took Italian citizenship and met her future husband Isidoro Papo. During the outbreak of World War II, in 1939, the couple moved to Nice, France, to escape the Fascist regime of Benito Mussolini. They married in France, and after the war, they moved back to Milan. Upon retirement in 1964, the couple moved to Verona, where they finally settled. Mr. Papo died in 1981. The couple never had any children. Pizzinato remained in Verona for the rest of her life; at the time of her death, she lived in a retirement home there.[31][32][33]
On 23 November 2010, marking her 114th birthday, Pizzinato was visited by Italy's president, Giorgio Napolitano, who wrote her a letter with the words "In this happy and special occasion I would like to send, on behalf of all Italians, sincere congratulations and good wishes of serenity with her loved ones and people around the community Saint Catherine in Verona".[34]
Marie Josephine Gaudette[edit]
Marie-Josephine Clarice Gaudette (25 March 1902 – 13 July 2017) was the oldest living person in Italy from the death of Emma Morano, who was the oldest living person in the world and the oldest Italian person ever on 15 April 2017 until her own death three months later. Gaudette was born in Manchester, New Hampshire, United States, and was the oldest living person born in the US from the death of Susannah Mushatt Jones on 12 May 2016 and the oldest emigrant from the US ever.[35]
A nun known as Mother Cecilia, she lived in the Italian convent from 1958 until her death[36] and was considered "the world's oldest nun".[37] She lived in Canada and France before settling in Italy.[38] Gaudette died on 13 July 2017, aged 115 years, 110 days, as the 5th-oldest living person in the world.[39]
Giuseppina Projetto[edit]
Giuseppina Projetto (30 May 1902 – 6 July 2018)[40] was, at age 116 years, 37 days, the oldest living person in Italy from the death of Marie Josephine Gaudette on 13 July 2017, and the world's second-oldest verified living person behind Chiyo Miyako upon the death of Nabi Tajima on 21 April 2018, until her own death on 6 July 2018.[41]
She was born in La Maddalena, but was of Sicilian origin. Her maternal grandfather had moved from Sicily with the expedition of Giuseppe Garibaldi. In 1946, she married Giuseppe Frau, a widower with three children. At the time of her death, Projetto lived in Tuscany with her daughter-in-law and grandchildren.[42][43]
Projetto had been the oldest living person born in Italy since the death of Emma Morano on 15 April 2017, as Gaudette was born in the US.[44] Projetto is the second-longest-lived Italian person ever behind Emma Morano,[45] and was also the oldest living European from the death of Ana María Vela Rubio on 15 December 2017 until her own death.[46]
