Sardinia has been identified as one of five regions in the world that have high concentrations of people over 100 years old: a total of 534 people across or 33.6 for every 100,000 inhabitants. But Perdasdefogu is unique because the number of centenarians in a town of its size is 16 times the national average.<br />

  • PERDASDEFOGU, ITALY - 9 JUNE 2022: Vittorio Lai, who recently celebrated his 100th birthday, poses for a portrait in Perdasdefogu, Sardinia, Italy, on June 9th 2022.<br />
<br />
The World Guinness Record of the largest concentration of centenarians - 0.449 percent per capita - was achieved by the town of Perdasdefogu, in the island of Sardinia, Italy, in April 2022. At the time the record was set, there were 8 centenarians in a population of 1,778.<br />
<br />
Sardinia has been identified as one of five regions in the world that have high concentrations of people over 100 years old: a total of 534 people across or 33.6 for every 100,000 inhabitants. But Perdasdefogu is unique because the number of centenarians in a town of its size is 16 times the national average.<br />
<br />
Perdasdefogu shot to fame in 2012 when the Melis family, made up of nine brothers and sisters, entered the Guinness World Records as the oldest living siblings on Earth, with a combined age at the time of 818.

  • ACCIAROLI, ITALY - 14 SEPTEMBER 2018: A photograph of Giuseppe Vassallo's 95th birthday is seen here in his home in Acciaroli, a small fishing village in the municipality of Pollica, Italy, on September 14th 2018. Giuseppe Vassallo was an Italian Navy official during WWII. At age 86, 8 years ago, Mr Vassallo had multiple sex affairs to overcome his depression following his wife's death. He was a testimonial of the Acciaroli's mediterranean diet and lifestyle during Expo 2015, the Universal Exposition hostel in Milan last year.<br />
<br />
To understand how people can live longer throughout the world, researchers at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have teamed up with colleagues at University of Rome La Sapienza to study a group of 300 citizens, all over 100 years old, living in Acciaroli (Pollica), a remote Italian village nestled between the ocean and mountains in Cilento, southern Italy.<br />
<br />
About 1-in-60 of the area’s inhabitants are older than 90, according to the researchers. Such a concentration rivals that of other so-called blue zones, like Sardinia and Okinawa, which have unusually large percentages of very old people. In the 2010 census, about 1-in-163 Americans were 90 or older.

  • GORGONA, ITALY - 27 JUNE 2014: Penitentiary Director Carlo Alberto Mazzerbo (center) gives a speech to  Lamberto Frescoboaldi (1st from left) and inmates of the Gorgona penitentiary the day of his 57th birthday, in Gorgona, Italy, on June 27th 2014.<br />
<br />
Gorgona is the smallest island of the Tuscan archipelago, located 18 miles west of Livorno, which became an experimental agricultural penal colony in 1869.<br />
<br />
The “Frescobaldi per Gorgona” project  provides inmates the opportunity to learn winemaking techniques and job skills under the supervision of the company’s agronomists and winemakers, led by Vice President Lamberto Frescobaldi himself. Fifty inmates contributed to the production of Gorgona, a white wine made from Vermentino and Ansonica grapes planted on the island of Gorgona in the Tyrrhenian Sea, close to the Tuscan coast. The Frescobaldi family purchased a hectare of old vineyards and will expand with more vineyards in the upcoming months. Total production is only 2,700 bottles, but 1,000 of the bottles will reach the US market through Frescobaldi importer Folio Fine Wine Partners, in the Fall.<br />
<br />
Born in August 2012, the Gorgona initiative was financed by the Department of Penitentiary Administration and accomplished through the collaboration of the Gorgona Penitentiary's Directorate and Marchesi de’ Frescobaldi.
