Emma Morano
Emma Morano is believed to be the oldest living person on Earth, and the oldest Italian, EVER. She’s the only person still alive that was born in the 1800’s and, as of the time of this writing, is 117 years old and if all turns out well, she’ll be turning 118 on November 29 this year.
She credits her longevity to her diet of 3 eggs, a bit of raw meat, and Italian pasta, which she has followed for the past 90 years.
