RECOGNITION

Following the passing of 109-year-old Silvia Deias (31 December 1908 – 29 June 2018) of Assemini, she became the oldest (known) living person in Sardinia. Following her passing, she was succeeded by Maria Nicolina Manca (17 March 1911 – 13 September 2020).

Her age has not been validated.

With a combined final age of 222 years, 145 days, she and her sister Amelia hold the record as the oldest siblings ever to have died in Europe.
