Before the holidays in 2011, a story about a 99-year-old Italian man named Antonio came to light. He made the decision to end his 77-year marriage.
Antonio happened upon some sentimental old letters from Rosa, his wife’s former lover.
Since the 1940s, these letters had been stored away.
Rosa acknowledged having an affair more than 60 years ago when questioned.
After learning of this, Antonio decided to file for divorce, ending their enduring marriage.
After meeting and getting married in the 1930s, Antonio and Rosa had five children, twelve grandchildren, and even a great-grandchild.
Since they were the oldest couple to file for divorce, their story made headlines.
