BIOGRAPHY

Mary Brizzi was born in Ascoli Piceno, Marche, Italy, on 12 September 1910. At some point, she married and had at least two children, Vincenzo and Clotilde Mancini. When her husband passed away, he left her a significant amount of money, which she decided to invest in a postal bond in 1986.

Brizzi participated in creating the first local calendar of centenarians, in which the elderly themselves posed for the photos featured each month of 2020, rather than using professional models.

Mary Brizzi passed away in Rome, Lazio, Italy, on 17 January 2021, at the age of 110 years, 127 days.
