Michele Gai, the second-oldest living man in Italy, celebrated her 110th birthday today in Diano Castello, Liguria, according to la Repubblica.

Michele Gai was born in Turin, Piedmont, Italy, on 23 December 1915. For 35 years in Turin, he pursued a military career as a non-commissioned officer in the Army. In 1972, after being discharged, he moved to Liguria and settled in Cervo. There he began working as a pharmaceutical representative and commercial agent. He also served as secretary of the bocce club in San Bartolomeo al Mare.

He continued to drive without difficulty until the age of 104.

At the moment, he is the nation’s second-oldest living man, after Vitantonio Lovallo.
