Giuseppe Mirabella, affectionately known as 'Zio Pippo', was born in the city of Catania on the island of Sicily in 1901.

He was married but had no children. His profession as a shoemaker led him, also, to work in Paris, France. He returned to Sicily and lived there his whole life.

Mirabella became a supercentenarian in September 2011. At that time, he said he was a fan of politics and football.

He died in Pedara, Catania, Sicily, at the age of 110 years, 206 days he was the oldest man ever from Sicily at the time of his death
