Ana Posi, a 101-year-old Italian woman, is recognized as one of the world's oldest active baristas. She continues to run Bar Centrale in Nebbiuno, a small town near Lake Maggiore in northern Italy.
Having opened the establishment with her husband Renato in 1958, Posi has worked behind the counter for nearly seven decades.

She attributes her longevity to her work and social interaction, stating that labor provides independence and prevents reliance on others.
