LongeviQuest is pleased to announce that the European Supercentenarian Organisation (ESO) has validated the age of Lucia Ronda at 110 years old.
Lucia Ronda was born on 22 April 1914 in Casalmaggiore, Cremona, Lombardy, Italy.
An artist by profession, she is notable for having designed one of the doors on the Milan Cathedral. In 2020, she once again received media attention for surviving COVID-19, at the age of 106.
In 1950, Ronda was commissioned by Cardinal Giovanni Battista Montini – who would later become Pope Paul VI to design one of the doors of the Milan Cathedral.
On her 108th birthday in 2022.

Despite her advanced age, she continued to draw and paint into her centenarian years. In 2020, she contracted COVID-19 and was hospitalized, before later being released, making her one of Italy’s oldest survivors of the disease.
Lucia Ronda currently resides in a nursing home in Pavia, Milan, Italy, at the age of 110.
