Mamie Tei, the Oldest Person in Tuscany, Italy, Dies at 112

Mamie Tei, the oldest living person in Tuscany, Italy, passed away in Prato on 7 December, at the age of 112 years, 23 days, according to La Nazione.

Tei was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, United States, on 14 November 1913 to Italian immigrant parents. Her parents had moved to the United States for work reasons, where their first three children —Roberto, Mamie, and Enrico—were born in New York and Pennsylvania. The fourth child, Gloria, was later born in Italy. In 1926, the family returned to Italy, specifically in Montiano (Grosseto).

Tei later met and married Dante Conti, a man from Cafaggio in Prato. Dante, an agronomist by profession, was responsible for the management of the Vivarelli Colonna estates and also served as an interpreter for the Americans during World War II. From their marriage, two children were born: Giuliano in 1941 and Marcello in 1948. In the 1950s, the family permanently relocated to Prato.

On 31 March 2025, following the passing of Cristina Paloscia, she became the oldest living person in Tuscany.

At the time of her death, she was Italy’s third-oldest living person (after Lucia Laura Sangenito and Maria Carmela Ricci) and the country’s last known survivor born in 1913.

She is the 6th oldest person in history to live in Tuscany.
Currently, the oldest person living in Tuscany is Nella Faleri, born on April 2, 1915, in Monteroni d'Arbia, where she still lives.
She remained the oldest person in Tuscany for 251 days, less time than her predecessor, Cristina Paloscia, who lived from October 2, 2020, to March 31, 2025 (4 years, 180 days) and died at 112 years, 320 days, surpassing Mamie Tei, who died at 112 years, 23 days.
She was the first person from Prato to be considered the oldest in Tuscany since research data began.
She is the 48th oldest person to die in Italy in history.
She is the 102nd oldest emigrant in history.
She is the 272nd oldest person living in Europe in history.
She is the 1122nd oldest person in history.
She died at the same age.
