  • ACCIAROLI (POLLICA), ITALY - 5 OCTOBER 2016: Sun-dried figs stuffed with lemon zest, almonds and cinnamon prepared by 82-years old Fenisia La Greca are seen here in her kitchen in Acciaroli, a hamlet in the municipality of Pollica, Italy, on October 5th 2016. Fenisia La Greca grows fruit and vegetables in her own garden.<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.

  • 12 March, 2008. Modica, Sicily, Italy.  Main living room of the Historial Baroque Palazzo Marconi in the centro storico (historical center) of Modica. The building was built in 1878 and some of its baroque rooms (as well as the entrance staircase) were destroyed to create an apartment in the 1950's. It consists of two floors of 350 square meters each and of partially covered terrace of 350 square meters with a 360 degrees panoramic view. The furnished property is on sale for 500,000 euros. Palazzo Marconi is situated in via Marconi 5, near Piazza San Giovanni in the baroque town of Modica, in Southern Sicily. Modica is part of the UNIESCO Heritage Sites in Italy, and despite the earthquakes in 1613 and 1693, the city has maintained some of the most beautiful architectures in Sicily, in the Sicilian Baroque style. <br />

  • ACCIAROLI, ITALY - 14 SEPTEMBER 2018: A view of the Hotel La Scogliera, where Ernest Hemingway stayed in 1951, in Acciaroli, a small fishing village  in the municipality of Pollica, Italy, on September 14th 2018. During his stay in Acciaroli, Ernest Hermingway drew inspiration for his masterpiece "The Old Man and the Sea".<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.

  • ACCIAROLI (POLLICA), ITALY - 5 OCTOBER 2016:  94-years-old Giuseppe Vassallo poses for a portrait in his house in Acciaroli, a hamlet in the municipality of Pollica, Italy, on October 5th 2016. 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.
