Antonio Todde (22 January 1889 – 3 January 2002) was an Italian supercentenarian who, at the time of his death shortly before his 113th birthday, was the oldest man in the world. Todde was born in the village of Tiana, in the province of Nuoro, Sardinia, an area noted for its centenarian density. Born to a poor shepherd family, Todde was the third of 12 children. In 1920, at age 31, he married Maria Antonia, then aged 25, and they had four daughters and a son. She died in 1990, aged 95. He left Sardinia only to fight in the First World War, where he was injured in the shoulder by a grenade. He died at age 112 years and 346 days on 3 January 2002.
Venere Ires Pizzinato (married Papo; 23 November 1896 – 2 August 2011) was an Italian supercentenarian who lived for 114 years and 252 days. At the time of her death she was the oldest person ever from Italy.
She was born in Ala, Trentino, then part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. World War I forced her to take refuge in Bazzano, Bologna. After the war, she moved to Milan, where she took Italian citizenship and met her future husband Isidoro Papo. During the outbreak of the Second World War, 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, they settled in Verona. Mr. Papo died in 1981. Pizzinato remained in Verona for the rest of her life, spending her final years in a retirement home.
On 23 November 2010, marking her 114th birthday, Pizzinato was visited by Italy's president, Giorgio Napolitano, who wrote her a congratulatory letter.
Marie-Josephine Clarice Gaudette (25 March 1902 – 13 July 2017) was the oldest living Italian from the death of Emma Morano on 15 April 2017 until her own death three months later. Born in Manchester, New Hampshire, to French Canadian immigrants, she was also the oldest living person born in the United States from May 2016 to July 2017.
A nun known as Mother Cecilia, she lived in Canada and France before settling in Rome. She lived at the Convento di Gesù e Maria from 1958 until her death, and was considered "the world's oldest nun". Gaudette died on 13 July 2017, aged 115 years and 110 days.
