After four years Ollastra has a new centenary . This morning Amelia Bonaria Orrù blew out one hundred candles , surrounded by the affection of her relatives but also of the municipal administrators.

Mayor Osvaldo Congiu reached the town's grandmother to give her a bouquet of flowers and a souvenir plaque from the Municipality . With a ringing voice Amelia Bonaria thanked the mayor. The souvenir photo is inevitable, complete with a tricolor sash worn with pleasure .

But also lots of money, a giant cake and lots of red balloons.

Amelia Boaria Orrù, three children, was widowed when she was 50: «She raised the family alone - says Faustina Manca, her daughter - My mother has always been a seamstress, she sewed until recently. She is serene and autonomous. However, she no longer goes out alone, but she likes to take many walks in the car with her children."

The new centenarian of the town is lively and only takes medicines for blood pressure and heart: «But she still hasn't revealed to anyone the secret of getting to this age - her daughter said - She has always been a hard worker, a woman very calm and serene."
