Lucia Lauria widow Vigna (born March 4, 1896) is an Italian supercentenarian who, at the age of 112, is the oldest person in Europe and 11th 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 region of Guadeloupe. Lauria became the oldest person in Italy upon the death of Maria Negri. She lives in the Province of Potenza in her own home surrounded by her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. On January 13 2009, she celebrated her second anniversary of the Italy's oldest person title. She is currently fourth oldest Italian on record, after Virginia Diggero-Zolezzi, Antonio Todde and Giulia Sani-Casagli. If she lives to be 113 she would be second.
