Antonio Todde

Antonio Todde (January 22, 1889 - January 3, 2002) was the oldest documented man in the world in 2000-2002, and briefly the oldest person in the history of Italy.

He was born and died in the village of Tiana , in the Nuoro province of Sardinia. The hilly country of Nuoro is noted for its remarkable centenarian density. Among the extremely small number of people who reach supercentenarian age worldwide, males are a pronounced minority, but at the end of his life Todde was not even the only male supercentenarian in Nuoro.

He was wounded in the battle of Monte Grappa in World War I and is the oldest known person ever to have served in a military force.
