Barbara Isabella Quenda, a resident of Condove, Piedmont, Italy, passed away on 11 April, at the age of 110 years, 128 days, according to ValsusaOggi.
Barbara Isabella Quenda was born in Almese, Piedmont, on 4 December 1915. She spent most of her life in Condove. She married Angelo Martoia, with whom she had a son Enrico in 1936. Her husband worked as a livestock dealer, while she ran a butcher shop—first in San Giorio and later in Condove, on Via Francesco Re. After retiring, she spent about twenty years on the Ligurian Riviera, remaining there until the age of 97 or 98, even after becoming a widow.
On 17 February 2026, following the passing of 113-year-old Maria Carmela Ricci, she became the oldest living person in the region of Piedmont.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of Barbara Isabella Quenda during this difficult time.
