Tullia Pesce was an Italian supercentenarian who was the oldest known living person in the region of Veneto. Her age has been validated by the Gerontology Research Group (GRG) and recognised by LongeviQuest.
Pesce was born in Castelfranco Veneto, Veneto, Italy, on 23 February 1895. She worked as a teacher for many years. For the last two decades of her life, she lived in a nursing home.
On her 110th birthday, Pesce was visited by the mayor of her town, Maria Gomierato, whose mother was taught by Pesce. At 4 p. m., after mass, the attendees of the celebration gathered to blow out the candles and eat a slice of cake.
Pesce died on 3 April 2005 in her hometown at the age of 110 years, 39 days.
Following the death of Maria Muraro on 2 January 2005, Pesce became Veneto’s oldest known resident. Upon her own death, the title passed to Maria Negri (1895 – 2007).
Pesce’s age was verified by Giovanni Alunni and validated by the GRG on 15 July 2005.
