Grandmother Votes For her Grandson

A 101-year-old great-grandmother voted in election  for her grandson in order to become mayor in an Italian town. Maria Donati is to stand for the local council in Saludecio, eastern Italy, after her 62-year-old grandson Roberto stood for mayor.

Grandmother said she wanted to stand as a councillor to help out her grandson: "Roberto is still so young, what does he know? He needs my help and I have 100 years of experience." 

She also said,"There are things that I have seen and been through in my life which would be a very great use to him and everyone else who runs the town. I am sure I can bring something they need. Yes, I am old but along with that I think I am wise. I think I have a very good chance in these elections."
