She turns 105 and tomorrow in Silanus we celebrate the one who represents a true living heritage. It is thia Pietrina Niola, born in Silanus on October 30, 1919, one of the longest-lived women on the Island, mother of nine children, with ten grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren.
An important milestone for a woman who has always lived in the village, helping her husband and family in the agricultural and pastoral activity. She is the oldest in the entire territory .
Thia Pietrina has a good memory, remembering the past without hesitation. She is very lucid and still lives in her house in the historic center , cared for by her children, who are certainly proud of their mother and for this reason do not fail to show her affection. What is the secret of longevity? "But, I have always lived and worked with serenity and always eaten genuine things. I am certainly still on this earth thanks to the will of God."
For the country it is certainly not a novelty: many have passed the threshold of 100 years, even going well beyond. A few days ago thia Tomasa Manca, originally from Laconi, turned 101. Giovanni Ibba, who has been living in Tuscany for a few years, is 104 years old and so is thia Nannedda Arca . It is a case of saying that in Silanus you can find the elixir of long life.
