I was a registered nurse and worked primarily in aged care. Irma is 100% spot on. You have to keep moving. Not only the secret to better health in old age, but also to living long enough to enter old age. Walking is, by far, the best form of easily accessed exercise for this (swimming is possibly better because it uses more muscle groups, but not everyone has access to swimming). Good on you, Irma. You're an inspiration!

So right. I, too, am a retired RN and worked in aged care. The body is meant to move, and as you get older, you need to move more. Plus some interests and a garden. Loving family also helps. Go Irma! Gorgeous house BTW.

Hello David and Erica, thank you for your work - and I so agree with you. The women we film always have family and half the village/neighbourhood involved in their lives and exercise is built into their routine: walking to the shops, up the stairs (usually 3 flights). There are no conveniences and that includes food. best wishes, Vicky

There is a video, here on KZread, made Julia Warr, called “My friend Maya”, although Maya was in her 90s not her 100s when the video was made, it has a similar tone of the beauty of life, I think you would enjoy it as I did.

She looks amazing and moves as if decades younger.

I’m waiting for another episode next year on this lovely lady, when she’s 104 years old!

"I'm 103 and I'm still making tagliatelle": the dream.

103?!?! where's the birth certificate - Irma looks like she's just in her mid 80s! wow!! Pasta looked so delish!

I LOVE that she let's the pasta dry a bit before cutting. Most people add a ton of flour and cut right away. This causes a slimy, gummy exterior that's unappetizing. I'm impressed with everything that is Irma.

@@bellenesatan ‘ Most people…This causes a slimy, gummy exterior that’s unappetising’. I’ve eaten good pasta in Italy every year for over 50 years and never had the horror you’re describing; where are these ‘Most people’ you’re referring to because none exist in Italy ? Incidentally, to set yourself up as someone who’s in a position to state loftily that they are ‘…impressed with everything that is Irma’ - in other words an experienced Italian cuoca - comes over as patronising and arrogant.

Her proud smile when she shows her big "sfoglia"❤! Irma is a living legend. I felt very overwhelmed while watching this video, started crying from the pure emotions and wiped out my tears, because nobody at home would understand why i was crying while watching a video about tagliatelle. But it is actually much more than that. It is a hymn of life.

103? OMG. I miss my grandma. Good health to this beautiful lady.

My great grannie was nearly 102 when we lost her, she lived on her own until she was until she fell right before her 100th birthday and broke a hip. She stayed busy for 100 years, that's the trick to living so long.

I am truly flabbergasted by this woman! She is absolutely beautiful, with a radiant smile. How lucky the world is to have had her for 103 years. Thank you so much for continuing to find these precious women!

The same rollin pin for 90yrs,. A nationl treasure,.

That happy proud look in her eyes in the end when everyone enjoys the meal is priceless, she has been making people happy with her her cooking longer than many empires have lasted, true treasure of a woman

Wow, her eyes are so smiling and young.

Irma is radiant!!! Beautiful skin, sparkling eyes, loving smile….BEAUTIFUL 🎉

The look of love on Irma’s face when she look through the photo album is so beautiful

wow irma im so impressed, this energy with 103 years!!

103 anni ma sorride più di un ragazzino di 12 anni di oggi. Bell'anima! ❤ Impara il più possibile da lei,sopratutto nel modo di vedere la vita,perchè è un opportunità rara avere accanto un secolo di storia e ancora così lucida. Dio la benedica

Signora Vicky, lei dovrebbe essere nominata tra le persone meritevoli della Repubblica Italiana. Spartaco Giacometti, Monfalcone.

Happiness comes from looking on the bright side of life and not the negatives:)

What strikes me is Irma’s contented disposition and the pleasure she appears to take in simple things like feeding her chickens. It must be part of her recipe for longevity. Auguri e complimenti, Signora Irma!

So this dear lady has been making pasta for 93 years! Incredible ❤

How is this woman 103 and more active than most people decades younger?! Mindblowing to me, I guess that freshly milled flour keeps you going!

I can’t even imagine how amazing that pasta must taste with fresh eggs and flour! Probably nothing like what we get in a box in the store. I love watching these grannies, thank you for these videos!

Irma reminds me of my own grandmother. Always trying to be active. And especially with home cooking meals as much as possible. She would typically go out for a morning walk to check on the neighbors, make conversation, and soon a half a dozen elderly ladies and gentlemen would be laughing up a storm as they slowly walked around the neighborhood.

I am italian and to me Irma just said "Alè alè" which is a way to express joy or excitement, people often say that in football stadiums during choruses but it doesn't have any meaning in italian, you made me realize it probably is just "allez allez" italianized 😅

What a beautiful lady.

Still getting around how wonderful that is God bless her heart ❤️

i need a trip to italy for a week and just stay with a pasta grannie to teach me the ways for a week... this is just beautiful.

She has beautiful skin. God bless her. 😍

She is so strong and beautiful! And the pasta looks delicious!

She's so beautiful, and so are her son and grandson. I also love her house with it's vibrant color and all the artwork on the walls. Who's the artist? Most of all I love the kindness and sweetness in her eyes and the Emilian accent which so reminds me of my father's family, also from the Appennino Tosco-Emiliano, but in the valleys south of Parma, not Modena. Some of the best, if not the best, food in Italy in Modena, imo.

What a lovely episode

Loved this! She has so much vitality - love seeing older people with such vitality and youthful spirit. What an inspiration and great cook! 103 and still making tagliatelle! I could be so lucky! Well done Irma!

She seems like an incredibly sweet lady.

Wonderful episode. Health and happiness Irma!

Incredible woman, and the sparkle of humor and mischief in her eyes! She looks beautiful and so youthful, I must follow her advice to walk everyday and stay active, it seems to be the true secret of youth!

She seems to joyous and full of life. I love her constant smiling and the glint in her eye.

I hope Irma is well and still cooking her tagliatelle, she looks like a lady who finds it easier to smile than frown. She’s extremely agile for her age and pasta boards aren’t the lightest thing to carry round full of homemade pasta. Mattarello make the best pasta machines ever.

I am in tears watching this beautiful woman....may she be blessed with many more healthy years. A true inspiration!

103 years old holy moly! and still sharp as a knife ! bless her.

❤❤ It reminds of my nonna when she used to make ravioli and tagliatelle on a sunday morning when we all used to go there for lunch.. amazing memories ❤ now that i don't live in Italy anymore i really miss those days..

Bravissima Irma, sei una forza della natura, ora però mi è venuta fame🤤

Ich bin in Rumänien geboren in meine Heimat sehe schon so viele alte Omas alleine geblieben mit viele Bedürfnisse und Haus sorgen... Respekt von Schwarzwald Deutschland.

To think that Mrs. Irma lived through two centuries (20 and 21) and witnessed the Second World War, the construction of the Berlin Wall, and the arrival of man on the moon. It's wonderful! She arrives in the second half of the 21st century as a young centenarian lady. What a blessing.
