In 2015, Tuscany set the record as having the highest number of centenarians in Italy with as many as 1,500 individuals reaching the impressive 100-year mark. Inspired by this information, Giuseppe Della Maria created the Portraits of Tuscan Centenarians project, taking two years to learn about these long-living persons and their secrets to reaching the centenary mark. The rare opportunity to collect their life experiences was the motivation behind the project, emerging into a reconstruction of 20th-century Italian history.
