Carmela Marchesano, a resident of Salerno, Campania, Italy, passed away on 14 March, at the age of 110 years, 192 days, according to Il Mattino.
Carmela Marchesano was born in Salerno, Campania, Italy, on 3 September 1915. She was the eldest of eight siblings. For a time, she worked as a forewoman at the Lamberti umbrella factory. She had four grandchildren—Antonello, Peppe, Maria, and Lucia—and later had 16 great-grandchildren.
According to her family, she reportedly followed no special diet or exercise regimen that could explain her remarkable longevity; her secret seemed to be a combination of iron will and deep love for her family.
At the time of her passing, she was the second-oldest living person in the region of Campania, after Lucia Laura Sangenito.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of Carmela Marchesano during this difficult time.
