A 99-year-old Italian man has divorced his 96-year-old wife after he found letters from an affair she had 60 years ago.
The man, identified as Antonio C., who is cutting off his 77-year-old marriage, discovered the letters exchanged between his wife and a former flame in an old chest of drawers days before Christmas.
He confronted his wife, Rosa C., who reportedly admitted to the affair, and tried to convince him to stick with their marriage.
But despite nearly eight decades that they spent building a life together, the letters became the latest woes in the couple’s long marriage during which they had five kids, 12 grandchildren and one great-grandchild together.
Antonio C. had reportedly met Rosa C. in the 1930s while he served as part of the Italian Carabinieri in her native Naples.
The court eventually dissolved their marriage as the man refused to change his mind.
