Wish Italy's Emma Morano a happy birthday!! Believed to be the last person born in the 19th century, on November 29, 1899, in Italy's northwestern province of Verbano, she celebrated her 117th birthday on Tuesday. Still of agile mind, she talked with friends and devoured some of the attractive cake that her town presented to her in her small apartment on Lake Maggiore. A town party and concert have also been scheduled to mark her special birthday. She claims that her healthy habits, genetics and eating three eggs per day have contributed to her longevity. She actually survived eight younger siblings!
