Emma Martina Luigia Morano-Martinuzzi, born November 29,
1899, is currently the oldest living person on the planet, the oldest
Italian ever, No. 5 in the "ranking" of the oldest, verified people
ever lived (source: Wikipedia) and the last one verifiably born in
the 19th century. In July 2016 – as part of my long-term project of
portraying centenarians – I had the pleasure to meet her in her one
room apartment in Verbania, a picturesque city located at the
North shore of Lago Maggiore, where she's still living by herself.
