There was a big celebration tonight in Villasimius for the 104th birthday of Tzia Bonuccia (Bonaria) Longoni, the oldest woman in the village. Smiling and still in good health, the grandmother once again welcomed Mayor Gianluca Dessì and several representatives of the municipal administration. Tzia Bonuccia blew out her candles and then—between a chat and a smile—enjoyed a slice of cake.
Born on July 9, 1921, she made an appointment with everyone for next year.
In 1946, Tzia Bonuccia married Efisio Dessì, a landowner and owner of a bar located in the central Piazza Incani. In addition to caring for the family, the centenarian also provided significant assistance to her husband in running the bar. Among her passions is flowers, of which she continues to grow and is proud.
Three years ago, at the age of 101, she was the oldest person to vote in the municipal elections.
