This year, a retirement home chain in Italy achieved a remarkable feat by hosting a gathering of 70 centenarians at their annual event. The Fondazione Opera Immacolata, which operates several retirement homes, has been organizing such events for about 15 years.
The Guinness World Records adjudicator was present at the event to ensure that the record was official. All 70 attendees had surpassed their 100th birthdays, breaking the previous record set in Australia in 2016, where there were only 45 centenarians in attendance.
The event was more than just a celebration of longevity and life; it was an opportunity for these centenarians to come together, share stories and enjoy each other’s company. They had lived through significant historical events and changes and could bring their unique perspectives to the table.
Overall, the annual gathering of centenarians organized by the Fondazione Opera Immacolata has become a cherished tradition that highlights the importance of celebrating and honoring older members of society while recognizing their wisdom and experiences.
