Cristina Paloscia, the oldest living person in Tuscany, Italy, passed away in Florence on 31 March, at the age of 112 years, 320 days, according to La Nazione.
Paloscia was born in Ortona, Abruzzo, Italy, on 15 May 1912. Her father was a railway worker. She moved with her family to Florence in the late 1930s because the city was an university town.
She was a music lover passionate about classical music. When asked about the secret to her long life she said: “it is to eat like a bird and drink a glass of wine a day.”
