Building on earlier ceremonies, June 2026 saw Alassio present a parchment and commemorative volume to the Swiss-origin Rickenbacher family for five decades of tourism, while Senigallia honoured centenarians Anita Giraldi and Renato Rosati. In mid-June, Sicilian Naso celebrated 105-year-old Rosaria Pizzino with a mayor-led lunch, and Cantello in Lombardy recognised 108-year-old Rosa Rasi. The following day Foglianise marked Maria Pedicini’s 100th birthday with the national tricolour ribbon, and Sardinia’s Teulada honoured Dr. Antonietta Camba, also 100, for her medical career. Early July brought further tributes: Serrara Fontana welcomed centenarian Maria Schiano, and Ruinas presented a plaque to Mariangela Setzu. On 11 July, Lambrugo commemorated railway-master and partisan Angelo Lanfranchi’s centenary, while Lamon celebrated 110-year-old Luigia Maria Cavallari. Two days later, Amalfi’s Pogerola honoured 101-year-old teacher Maria Maiorino, and nearby Poggio Morello marked Luigi Papa’s 90th birthday. In late July, Novara di Sicilia honored Assunta Truscello and Abbiategrasso recognized Luigia D'Agata with mayoral plaques. On 30 July, Pineto celebrated Lidia Giannangelo and Ferrara honored Iole Ziosi. The trend continued into early August: on 2 August, Barrafranca celebrated Stella La Pusata, known locally as ‘Zi Stillina’, with a ceremony at the Itria church, while Medicina honored Angela Bonventre, highlighting the historic migration link between Alcamo and Medicina. In Polla, Francesca Santini was also presented with a commemorative plaque by local officials. By mid-August, Brivio celebrated Celestina Paveri’s 106th birthday. In Aprica, former teacher Maria Lina Apollonio Ricetti received a celebratory parchment from Mayor Dario Corvi. Additionally, Laveno Mombello celebrated Maria Assunta Favro’s 105th birthday, noting her history of living in Tripoli and navigating the hardships of World War II. Conversely, the community of Falzè di Piave mourned the passing of 101-year-old Tarcisio Liberale Breda, a ‘living historical memory of the 20th century’. ~~In early September, celebrations continued across various regions.~~
