99-year-old divorces wife after he discovered 1940s affair

-- Nick Squires, The Telegraph, 10 Jan. 2012
An Italian couple are to become the world's oldest divorcees, after the 99-year-old husband
found that her 96-year-old wife had had an affair in 1940s. The Italian man, identified by

(3)

lawyers in the case only as Antonio C, was rifling through the old chest of drawers when he
discovered her love letters a few days before Christmas.

Notwithstanding the time that had elapsed since the betrayal, he was so upset that he
immediately confronted his wife of 77 years, named as Rosa C, and demanded divorce. Guiltstricken, she reportedly confessed everything but was unable to persuade her husband to
reconsider his decision. She wrote letters to her lover during a secret affair in the 1940s, according

(5)

to court papers released in Rome these week. The couple are now preparing to split, despite a ties
they forged over nearly eight decades they have five children, a dozen grandchildren, and one
great-grand children.

The discovery of the letters was the final straw for a marriage which had already run into
difficulty 10 years ago the husband briefly left their house in Rome and moved in with one of his

(1)

sons, only to return few weeks later.

The Italian press attributed the acrimonious split to a couple's southern blood he is originally
from Olbia in Sardinia, while his wife was born in Naples. The couple met during the 1930s when
Antonio was posted as the young Carabinieri officer to Naples.
