Maria Granoli (born Maria Redaelli; April 3, 1899 – April 2, 2013) was an Italian woman who lived for a very long time. People who live to be over 110 years old are called supercentenarians. Maria was one of them! When she passed away, just one day before her 114th birthday, she was the oldest person living in Italy. She was also the oldest person in all of Europe. In the whole world, she was the 4th oldest living person.
Maria's Early Life and Family
Maria Redaelli was born on April 3, 1899. Her birthplace was Inzago, a town in the Province of Milan, which is in the Lombardy region of Italy. She grew up and later married a man named Gaspare Granoli. They had two children together. Sadly, one of their children passed away before Maria did.
Living a Long Life
Maria lived a very long and full life. She worked in a silk spinning mill, which is a factory where silk threads are made. She lived to be 113 years old. Maria passed away peacefully at her home in Filanda, which is also in the Lombardy region of Italy. This happened on April 2, 2013, just one day before what would have been her 114th birthday. After Maria's passing, another Italian woman named Emma Morano became the oldest living person in Italy and Europe.
