106 year old Palmira Frasconi says: "My secret: I sing and play the accordion"

The Proclamation was delivered to "grandmother" Palmira to celebrate her 106 years.
"Foligno can now boast among its fellow citizens ten new centenarians with the 'grandmother' of all Folignati being Mrs. Palmira Frasconi who has reached the milestone of 106 years, thus also entering among the records at national and international level, underlined the Mayor Stefano Zuccarini in his proclamation.

Even today she sings and plays her accordion. Special official awards have been delivered to her and others over 100 years old, with greetings and best wishes from the Mayor and the whole city.

Our elders are our beacon, their deep roots also make our lives more solid. To them, who have overcome the tragedies of wars and poverty, earthquakes and crises, and now also this scourge of the virus pandemic, we send a special hug noting, that there are examples for never giving up and living life with hope."
