    Mine was born in 1939, definitely in “gaga gugu” age at the time, and she’s considered old as grandmas go. When talking to someone somewhere around my age (the likes of which I’m more likely to have a conversation, especially about cooking), I can expect their grandma to be less than a decade older than mine. So still very young at the time.

      My grandmas were bom in 1914 and 1908.
      So together with your value, 1923 sounds somewhat realistic.
      I am not Italian, tlough. :-)

      How old are you? I’m late 30’s and my dad was born in 1943. Not sure when my grandma was born but she must have been in her twenties when she had my dad, because he’s the youngest of five. So there are definitely people in their thirties or forties who have a Italian grandmother who actively supported the fascists.

        Your dad had you in his mid 40s which is pretty late to have a kid, especially the further back you go. I’m early 30s and my grandmother was born in '46

          Sure. I didn’t say it’s common. Just that someone who is in their thirties or forties and have a fascist supporting Italian grandma surely must exist.
