April 11, 2020 "Happy birthday, Happy Easter, stay home". Luisa Zappitelli, born in 1911, 108 years old, chose technology, a short video made in the living room of her home, which the Municipality of Città di Castello then posted on their social networks, to wish Happy Easter with a hastag and invitation to "stay at home". Two world wars, many hardships, including the dreaded "Spanish", work in the country, the family to raise and a lot of faith, the one who today says to support her even in this difficult moment of coronavirus emergency. "We must pray to the Lord: with the sign of the cross every day now more than ever," said grandmother Lisa (as she is known by everyone) as soon as the short Easter spot that the mayor of Città di Castello, Luciano Bacchetta, defined "a real testimony of wisdom and righteousness which we must all inspire in particular now that we fight every day against this pandemic". "We really wish grandmother Lisa - concluded Mayor Bacchetta - and extend it to all the families and our elderly who are the human resource and pride of the country".
