Biography
Mochi was born on 1 January 1914 in Colmurano, Marche, Italy. She worked as a cook in a kindergarten school. At one time moved out of her home and donated it to the local government so that it could be used as a school building.
Mochi has lived in a nursing home in Urbisaglia, Marche, Italy since she was 106. In late 2020, she contracted COVID-19 during the coronavirus pandemic, but by 13 December she had tested negative, making her one of the oldest survivors of the disease. She went on to celebrate her 107th birthday in January 2021.
