As a centenarian, Tosi was devoutly religious, attending church services regularly until the COVID-19 pandemic, during which she would watch the services on the television. She is also a football fan, has a strict daily routine, and has never smoked.

At the age of 105, Tosi moved into a nursing home in Genoa. As of 2023, she is among the top 20 oldest residents of Italy.
