(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 19 - Italy's oldest person, Urbino-born life-long homemaker Domenica Ercolani, died in Pesaro in Marche Friday at the age of 113, sources said Sunday.
    Born in Marche cultural city Urbino on July 3 1910, she was married to a railway station manager and never left the province of Pesaro-Urbino.
    Assisting her to the end was her 87-year-old daughter Alessandra Rupalti.
    Ercolani was noted for never having taken any medicine and never suffering incapacitating illnesses.
    Her doctor said "she had an exceptional physique".
    The last of five children, she had two children.
    Her life revolved around the home, waking up at seven, an abundant breakfast, and then listening to Teleradio Padre Pio for the rest of the day.
    She never refused a glass of wine, combined with light meals.
    Her door was always open to visits from people and she used to say "you live better if you're good". And longer, too. (ANSA).
