      You could add a nice two hour walk to work and a day weeding the potato fields. That would transform anyone’s stamina and physique. When I started walking it was really uncomfortable but I learned that was partly due to my shoes being the wrong size and worn out socks. Getting out for a walk or bike ride actually energizes you I’ve found. For longer distances I’ve been told people use lubricants like Vaseline or various oils to prevent chafing and blisters. Historically, people would just grab a few necessities and walk for days. I think we’ve lost perspective of what’s possible.

      I was born in Vedelago, just a hop and a skip from Istrana. (Both my parents: Trevisani.)
      Mamma is now 88. Longevity runs in her family. She's spry, healthy and cooks every day.
      Doesn't cook much pasta though, and no red meat.
      She's very slim, and extremely health conscious these days.
      She has slowly, but surely, modified the World War 2 "old country" northern Italian diet I was raised on. (Think: pasta, polenta, carne e toccio, panne...)
      She also exercises daily.
      My father died in his fifties, of a heart attack.
      Mamma, on the other hand, plans to outlive us all!
      Anyway: Ciao from someone in Canada whose surname also ends in "n". (Typically "Trevisan"!)

The mighty Alps? The shining Mediterranean? The awesome majesty of Vesuvius? No - her greatest treasure is the Nonnas. They need UNESCO World Heritage status.

      No joke! I wish my Grandmothers & Mother would have shared their recipes with me. Unfortunately, they took all of them to their graves. They shared wonderful stories, about their lives, but none of their phenomenal recipes. My Dad's Mom & her Sisters used to make food for their family's boarding house guests. She was the best cook, EVER, & I will never taste food that good again.

    Grazie nonna Marietta. Mi hai fatto tornare in dietro nel tempo quando vivevo in Calabria con mia madre. Mi sono commosso tanto perchè vedendo te fare la pasta fatta in casa, mi sono ricordato dei bellissimi momenti trascorsi in casa di mia madre, dove era sempre festa quando si mangiava un buon piatto fatto in casa. Un sapore che non potro mai dimenticare, perchè era fatto con tanto amore. Ti auguro tanto bene e una buona salute. Solo vivendo con semplicità e tanto duro lavoro amore e passione che si può arrivare come te a 98 anni. Grazie per il bel video un abbraccio da un Calabrese verace che vive in Svizzera.

    My gramma, Cosma, is 90 now, she's from Ceará, northeastern Brazil. Her oldest memory is to work on the corn fields, on 1935, helping her father to get something to eat during one of the recurrent droughts that always castigated Brazil's semi-arid lands. Until last year she was in great shape, but age is starting to show its weight, sadly. But two things are certain: in the past 100 years or so we improved our way of living like never before (though not for everyone) and to exercise is the greatest thing for health.

    Pure delight. I am sharing this widely through my Wisdom Collective. So many lessons on tradition and resilience were learned along with the incredible recipes. Thank you! I can only imagine the joy you have in discovering and sharing these delightful, inspiring grannies. I was 35 before I tasted authentic Italian food at home - shopping for the ingredients was incredibly romantic.

    What a great character Marietta is - and sticks to the old frugal ways of making ragu, with small amount of meat. My wife's mother, Nonna Teresa, always used to cringe at the huge amounts of meat that TV chefs put into ragu - hers tasted fantastic - and we still make it to her recipe.

    My great-grandmother was born in Alto Adige; the province is the northernmost of Italy. She wasn't good at pasta but a great baker and cook of all variants of 'cucina povera' like canederli which needs some 'forgotten' bread. She always had funny shaped Pane di Pasqua for the kids on Good Friday. She was a frugal lady and died peacefully at 106.

    Watching these amazing videos makes me miss my late yiayia ( grandmother in Greek). Also all the old Greek people that i know that they live past 90 , they been working outdoors all their lives , at the fields or at the sea and eating fresh home made food . So i think those are the secrets for a long life , be near the nature and eating fresh well made food!,

    There is so much Glory of God in the presence of Ms. Marietta. Indeed, only Jesus Christ is all knowing.
    She is almost 100 years old but looks like 60. The meal looks delicious but She is the Star ⭐ of the show. May God bless her with many more years to come, to pass on her wisdom.

    This one was a little more personal listening to her speak about things like the past and life. A little more then about pasta 🍝 . You could feel her emotion.
