Dorina Cecotti, a resident of Martignacco, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy, celebrated her 111th birthday on 7 November.
Dorina Cecotti was born in Campoformido, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy, on 7 November 1915. She married in 1935 and spent most of her life in Passons, located right on the border between the municipalities of Udine and Pasian di Prato. She was widowed in 1950, at the age of 35, and, like her husband, worked as a seamstress.
She was passionate about gardening and even maintained her own vineyard until she was in her 90s. In 2018, she moved into a nursing home in Martignacco. Even in her centenarian years, she remained independent and was able to manage her daily chores on her own.
According to her grandson, her secret to longevity was a balanced diet, plenty of time spent outdoors, and maintaining her independence well into extreme old age.
Following the death of 109-year-old Gelmira Bravo (11 May 1915 — 3 February 2025), she became the oldest known living person in Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
LongeviQuest extends warm congratulations to Dorina Cecotti on her 111h birthday.
