‘Leave our granny alone!’ Family of 97-year-old Italian hermit says she is stalked by tourists

Paolina Grassi, 97, is the sole inhabitant of an abandoned Alpine hamlet in northern Italy, Casali Socraggio, on the Swiss border. It’s so isolated, it does not appear on many maps.

Mrs Grassi has lived alone in the hamlet since 2016 when her sister, who lived with her, died. She used to lead a peaceful, bucolic life amid foxes and hens until local press in 2017 discovered her story and brought her into the spotlight.
