Gai was the 2nd oldest living man in Italy since April 2, 2024, which I believe is one of the longest tenures in history for a vice-dean, not just in Italy.
He entered the list on July 17, 2023.
May 29, 2023 was the last time we didn't have anyone from Liguria on the list. Umbria debuts on the list.
April 24 was the last time we had 2,107+ here.
December 5, 2025 was the last list with only 1,110+ here.

Angelo Peressini, 108 Years of War, Prison, and Love

SAN PIETRO DI FELETTO - Angelo Peressini, 108, is Italy's oldest mountain artilleryman. Born in 1917 in San Daniele del Friuli, he endured poverty, war, imprisonment, and then rebirth as an electrician, bringing light to the homes of the Feletta area.

After the war, he found true fulfillment in the love of his wife Maria, with whom he shared over sixty years of marriage and a life filled with family, work, and dancing. Today, he lives in San Pietro di Feletto, surrounded by the love of many people.
