BIOGRAPHY
Rosina Nicolli was born in Sclemo, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy, on 12 March 1904. Her parents were Francesco and Teresa. At the age of 20, she married Rocco Bosetti of Tavodo and moved with him to his hometown in the municipality of Dorsino. Together they had two children, Fidenzio and Alma, who later gave her five grandchildren: Maria Rosa, Fernando, Fabio, Mirta, and Stefano.
She devoted her life to being a housewife, mother, and farmer, working tirelessly on the family farm. She knew how to shear sheep, sow seeds, raise calves, and much more. With so many responsibilities, she had little time for leisure, though she enjoyed knitting whenever she could.
When asked about the secret to her longevity, she named three things: living peacefully, always dressing well, and—above all—remembering that tomorrow is another day.
Rosina Nicolli passed away in Santa Croce di Bleggio, Trentino-Alto Adige, on 10 December 2014, at the age of 110 years, 273 days.
