Biography
Vitantonio Lovallo was born in Avigliano, Basilicata, Italy on 28 March 1914.
From the age of 16, Lovallo has always worked. He began by being a shepherd and helping the family in the lands cultivated with wheat or corn. During the Second World War he was sent to the front. Lovallo was first in Bari and then a prisoner in Corfù. At the end of the war he returned home and found work as a muleteer (he transported wood with mules). Then he married and had three children, two daughters (one of whom was 86 years old, in 2023) and a son. Throughout his life he continued to work.
At the age of 103, Lovallo still tended the vineyard or grazed his ten sheep every morning. The secret of its vitality is concentrated in these two aspects: healthy and stress-free life.
In March 2024, he celebrated his 110th birthday and became a supercentenarian.
Lovallo currently lives in Avigliano, Basilicata, Italy, at the age of 111.
