When the young commander of the guard declared his love for her, she rejected him simply because his frivolity startled her. "See how simple he is," she told Amaranta. "He says that he’s dying because of me, as if I were a bad case of colic."

Italian Woman Auretta Franceschi Dies at 110
Auretta Franceschi, a resident of Viareggio, Tuscany, Italy, passed away on 3 April, at the age of 110 years, 245 days, according to Supercentenari d’Italia.
Auretta Franceschi was born in Lucca, Tuscany, on 1 August 1915.
She worked as a midwife. After graduating in Pisa in 1942, she traveled to Zagreb (in present-day Croatia) to work as a refugee in what was then Yugoslavia. Ten years later, after obtaining her condotta (license to practice), she returned to Tuscany, where she remained until 1980. That year, having purchased a house on the same main street where she had spent her childhood, she chose to return to Viareggio.
At the time of her passing, she was the third-oldest living person in Tuscany, after Nella Faleri and Gentilina Raccosta.
