Special

In the mountains of Nuoro there are said to be an extraordinary number of centenarians whose age (in contrast to other "legendary" places of longevity such as Abkhazia or Peru ) is documented. The oldest recorded resident was Antonio Todde (January 22, 1889 to January 3, 2002), who lived in the small village of Tiana and was recognized as the oldest man in the world from 2000 to 2002 .
