Mr. Carlo Pietro De Leonardis, who claims to be born on 2 January 1915 in Sabbio Chiese, Brescia, Lombardy Region (ITA), currently lives in La Paz (BOL) at 107 years and 8 months. He could be one of the oldest living men in Bolivia.

The registry office thought he passed away but he recently spoke with the Italian consulate and he voted for Italian political elections.

He is still alert and happy to vote for his native nation.

At the age of 108, Samuel Chuquimia Murillo, the last living benefactor of the Chaco War, died in the city of La Paz. His wake was held in the most absolute reserve at the request of the family of the Bolivian Chaco defender. He was buried in the General Cemetery of the city of La Paz.

Rest in peace.

Samuel was the oldest known living man in Bolivia since April 6, 2023 (2 years, 78 days), the longest time ever recorded for the oldest living Bolivian man (this is a short list, as we do not have older data). He died at 108 years, 312 days, the oldest age for this position since Ricardo Corrales Velasquez, who died in May 2021 at 108 years, 317+ days. He is the second person from La Paz to achieve the feat of being the oldest man in the country. His predecessor was Carlo Pietro De Leonardis, and he had been the first.
He is the oldest Bolivian man from the Chaco War.

RIP
