Antonio Todde (22 January 1889 – 3 January 2002) was an Italian supercentenarian who, at the time of his death, was the oldest man in the world. Todde was born in the village of Tiana, in the province of Nuoro, Sardinia, an area noted for its centenarian density. Born to a poor shepherd family in the medieval center of Tiana, Todde was the third of 12 children. In 1920, he married Maria Antonia, then aged 25, and they had four daughters and a son. She died in 1990, aged 95. He left Sardinia only to fight in the First World War, where he was injured in the shoulder by a grenade. He died at age 112 years, 346 days on 3 January 2002.
