What if the key to extreme longevity lay in an unchanged diet? Discover the astonishing journey of Emma Morano, an Italian centenarian with a rather unusual diet, which defies all our preconceived notions about food and eternal life.
An extraordinary existence: spanning three centuries in one lifetime
Portrait of Emma Morano, the oldest person in the world

Emma Morano was not just another centenarian, but a true living memory who spanned three distinct eras! Born on November 29, 1899, in a still deeply agricultural Italy, she witnessed two world wars, observed more than a hundred changes of government, and experienced technological advances that would have seemed inconceivable to her ancestors. One of eight children, she outlived all her brothers and sisters, defying time with exceptional resilience.
