A woman who had just celebrated her 100th birthday died after being engulfed in flames when her clothes caught fire while cooking in her home.
Renata Gessini marked her centenary on October 4 with a celebration that included a cake, flowers, and congratulations from the mayor and local community in Carpineto Romano, Italy.
Tragically, only four days later, the retired schoolteacher died in a kitchen fire.
On October 8, firefighters and Italian police rushed to her apartment after neighbours reported a blaze.
However, upon their arrival, the fire had already spread, and rescuers could do nothing to save her.
