Is this a normal age to die in Italy? Anytime I hear about some italian dying it’s always some super high number. Usually in the 90’s

Mediterranean diet probably plays a part in the age, this man was also obscenely rich so thats also a factor at play.

Are you from Italy? What's your daily diet like?

Alot of pasta, veggies and fruit, extra vergin olive oil, meat and fish rarely (mostly go for legumes for protein), this stemmed from the fact that the Mediterranean diet was the poor people diet so they did not have access to that stuff daily.
