Vittantonio Lovallo

Vittantonio Lovallo, known affectionately as 'Zitun,' was a renowned Italian centenarian who lived to be 112 years old. Born in March 1914 in Avigliano, Basilicata, he was a former sheep farmer who continued to tend to his vineyard even after reaching a century of life. Lovallo served in World War II and was captured as a prisoner of war in Germany from 1943 to 1945. His passing marked a significant loss for his community, as expressed by the mayor of Avigliano.
