A grand celebration in San Basilio for Raimonda Schirru, known to all as Tzia Mundica. For her 102nd birthday, her family gathered around her, with children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren traveling from far away to be part of this important occasion.
One hundred and two candles for Raimonda Schirru , known to everyone in town as Tzia Mundica , who reaches another extraordinary milestone surrounded by the love of her large family. The centenarian of San Basilio had already celebrated her 100th birthday in 2024, receiving the embrace of the entire community. Raimonda was born in the center of Gerrei, the daughter of Luigi, a shepherd, and Mariannica, a homemaker, and dedicated much of her life to her family: nine children , to whom over the years were added grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even great-great-grandchildren.
Her 100th birthday was also covered by the regional press, and a year later, in August 2025, Tzia Mundica reached the milestone of 101 years old. Now comes another milestone to remember: her 102nd birthday , celebrated once again with her loved ones. Some family members even made a long journey for the occasion. Angelo Marongiu, the centenarian's son-in-law , recounts the story. He and his wife Caterina, Raimonda's daughter , traveled from Ploaghe , where they live, specifically to take part in the celebrations. Their daughter Barbara , Tzia Mundica's granddaughter, came from even further away. She lives in Madrid , where she works for TikTok, and wanted to be present alongside her grandmother on her 102nd birthday. It was, above all, a family celebration, bringing together several generations around Raimonda and telling, through her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, over a century of personal and family history. For Tzia Mundica , after turning one hundred and one hundred and one candles, another special birthday arrives, along with a new milestone to share with all of San Basilio. Many well wishes also arrived on social media.
