Lucia Lauria widow Vigna (born March 4, 1896) is an Italian supercentenarian who, at 128 years, 299 days, is the oldest person in Europe and 9th 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. She lives in the Province of Potenza in her own home with her family.
Lauria-Vigna became the oldest person in Italy on January 13, 2007, following the death of Maria Negri.
On January 13, 2009, she celebrated her second anniversary as Italy's oldest person. She is currently the fourth-oldest Italian-born person on record, after Virginia Dighero, Amalia Barone and Teresa Fumarola.
