Gilberte Ballestra was considered the oldest person in Monaco, born on May 18, 1920, but it was discovered that she died on September 8, 2023 at the age of 103 years, 110 days, being the 14th known person with information about birth and death oldest in the country and the oldest person born in Monaco in history, the oldest known person in Monaco is now Jeanine Laforest de Minotty, born on June 11, 1920. Does anyone have information if she is still alive, or if there are older people there? It is a small country, and there is no record of people over 106 years old. The oldest in history that I have seen from there was (from what I have seen) Louis-Paul Colozier born in France on July 30, 1915 and died on July 8, 2021 at 105 years, 343 days.

Tesfai Ghrebemedhin morreu em 2021 entre 1º de outubro e 15 de dezembro
Com isso, Georgette Gassier, nascida em 9 de julho de 1920, seria a pessoa viva mais velha do país e o homem seria Jean Moro, nascido em 4 de setembro de 1920

Tesfai Ghrebemedhin died in 2021 between October 1 and December 15
Interesting: An Ethiopian-born or Eritrean-born centenarian in Monaco!

Jean Moro passed away between 1 June - 15 July 2021
So the oldest living man in Monaco is currently unknown, if anyone has this information it would be very cool

Yeah, I guessed his birthplace based on his name.
Yes, I also imagined that he was from those countries, because I am passionate about sports and I see many Ethiopian athletics athletes with that name

Dina Maccario (b. 29 August 1919) in Italy is the oldest known living person in Monaco. Her last alive report was in May 2023, but no death mention has been found. The oldest known living man is Athos Riccucci (b. 21 February 1925).
It is very likely that Dina Maccario is the last person living in Monaco who was born in the 1910s.

Dina Maccario, Monaco’s Oldest Person, Turns 107
Dina Maccario, the oldest living person in Monaco, celebrated her 107th birthday on 29 August.
Dina Maccario was born in Italy on 29 August 1919. In her youth, a young Italian man who lived in Beausoleil spent a holiday in Italy and fell in love with Dina. Three months later, they were married. When the Second World War began in 1939, she fled Italy and took refuge in Monaco with her husband. Her village was eventually ravaged by the war. She had three children. When she first arrived, she worked in private households. She later ran a gift shop at the Wildlife Garden.
In 1963, her husband died. After several years as a widow, Dina met Fernand Maccario, a former sports champion and coach of Louis Chiron. The couple married in 1977, and Dina became a Monegasque citizen that same year.
On her 100th birthday in 2019, her entire family, including relatives who traveled from Rome, came together to celebrate with her. She was known by her friends and family as the queen of cooking gnocchi and ravioli. At the time, her family spanned five generations.
She is one of the oldest known people to have ever lived in Monaco, with only two people known to have been older: Germaine Lance (1911–2020) and Thérèse Léotard (1911–2019).

@ale76 I can’t find Germaine Lance in the Mairie de Monaco’s death records https://www.vivremaville.mc/carnet-de-letat-civil/607fc7ec4a54d The website reports all births and deaths in the principality since late 2019, but she doesn't appear on the report of September-December 2020.

It seems that Germaine Lance died in Rainans, Jura, and Thérèse Jacquemoud née Léotard died in La Turbie, Alpes-Maritimes
