Revision as of 13:18, 4 March 2009
Lucia Lauria widow Vigna (born March 4, 1896) is an Italian supercentenarian who, at the age of 113, is the oldest person in Europe and 10th oldest person in the world. However she is only the second oldest in the European Union as Eugenie Blanchard of France is older, but lives in the overseas collectivity of Saint Barthélemy. Lauria became the oldest person in Italy upon the death of Maria Negri. She lives in the Province of Potenza in her own home with her family.
On January 13 2009, she celebrated her second anniversary as Italy's oldest person. She is currently the forth-oldest Italian on record, after Virginia Dighero, Amalia Barone (died in the U.S.A.) and Teresa Fumarola.
