SALEDUCIO, Italy, May 14 (UPI) -- A 101-year-old woman in Saleducio, Italy, is campaigning to become the oldest town counselor in the country in the upcoming June 6-7 elections.
Maria Donati, who will be 102 in September, is running for the town council on the Civic Non-Party Ticket For the Common Good in the same village that her granddaughter, Roberta, is running for mayor, ANSA reported Thursday.
Donati's daughter and son-in-law are also running for positions on the Saleducio council.
