(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 25 - Italy's oldest woman windsurfer is set to turn 98 in November.
    Maria Carla Rivano aka Mariuccia has been windsurfing for several summers now and still plays golf in a Roman club, goes skiing every winter, and regularly walks for kilometre after kilometre in her native Liguria.
    "I don't see why there's all this fuss about me," Mariuccia told reporters in her Roman home after getting back from a windsurfing jaunt on the Pacific island of Palau.
    "I've never been the classic housewife who looks after the home chores and children, although I've had three of them.
    "I've always done sport, ever since I was a young woman, and I keep doing it now that I'm elderly". (ANSA).
