Caterina Navarra turned 108: her grandmother from Castellammare del Golfo (Trapani) is one of the longest-lived living people in Italy. The mayor Nicolò Rizzo gave her a plaque and flowers: "since the arrival of the pandemic, grandmother Caterina has become our symbol of hope and strength. Best wishes for the milestone reached which contains the memory of our history". In the town in the Trapani area there are 15 over one hundred year olds, 11 women and 4 men. Caterina Navarra has 3 children, Francesco, Antonino and Benedetto, six grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren. She is the widow of Vincenzo Fontana who was a gardener. The elderly woman from only 106 years began to have some memory loss and physical difficulties. After spending the century of life, at the age of 101,Granny was in such perfect shape that she even allowed herself a post-centennial trip with a round trip from the States: she had celebrated her century of life in New York, with her two children living in America. With his 108 years of age yesterday, he is in 115th place among the longest-lived Italian citizens in Italy. The oldest living person is 112 years old.
