The world's oldest person has died in Italy at the age of 117,
reports say.

Emma Morano was born on 29 November 1899 in the
Piedmont region of Italy. She was officially the last person
born in the 1800s still living.

She had attributed her longevity to her genetics and a diet of
three eggs a day, two of them raw.

Ms Morano was the oldest of eight siblings, all of whom she
has outlived. She died at her home in the northern city of
Verbania.

Her life not only spanned three centuries but also survived an abusive marriage, the loss of her only son and more than 90 Italian governments.

Ms Morano had admitted that her longevity was partly down
to genetics; her mother reached 91 and several sisters
reached their centenary.

But it was also down to a rather unusual diet of three eggs -
two raw - each day for more than 90 years.

It was a regime she took up as a young woman, after the
doctor diagnosed her with anaemia shortly after World War
One.

She had cut down to just two eggs a day, and a few biscuits
recently.

Her doctor of 27 years, Carlo Bava, had told AFP news agency that she rarely ate vegetables or fruit,
"When I met her, she ate three eggs per day, two raw in the
morning and then an omelette at noon, and chicken at dinner."
