Guinness World Records is saddened to learn of the death of the world's oldest man, Juan Vicente Perez Mora (Venezuela, born 27 May 1909), at the age of 114. He would have turned 115 next month.

His death was confirmed by Freddy Bernal, the governor of Táchira, Venezuela, where Juan lived.

He wrote on X:

"Our dear Juan Vicente Perez Mora today, with deep sadness and pain, we say goodbye to you, to that archetype of a man from Tachira, humble, hard-working, peaceful, enthusiastic about family and tradition.

Together with my wife and children, we had the pleasure and the pride of meeting him and sharing with his loved ones.

My old Don Vicente, we will always remember him for his optimism in life, for faith, hope, and that deep love for our state of Tachira.

He will always be a symbol of goodness, wisdom and joy, which is why his legacy will live forever in our hearts and in our lives.

Rest in peace my dear old man, my Don Juan Vicente. We will never forget you."

President Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela also paid tribute, writing:

"Juan Vicente Perez Mora has transcended into eternity at 114 years old.

From the town of El Cobre, he gave Venezuela the Guinness Record title for being the oldest man in the world.

I send my hug and condolences to his family and to all the people of El Cobre, Tachira state. May God receive him in his holy glory!"

Juan Vicente was confirmed as the oldest man living after Saturnino de la Fuente Garcia (Spain, born 11 February 1909) passed away on 18 January 2022 at 112 years and 341 days.

Juan was announced as the oldest man living at 112 years and 253 days, as of 4 February 2022.

He attributed his longevity to "working hard, resting on holidays, going to bed early, drinking a glass of aguardiente every day, loving God, and always carrying him in his heart."

Juan Vicente was married to Ediofina del Rosario García for 60 years until her passing in 1997.

Together, they established a family of 11 children, consisting of six sons and five daughters.

He later welcomed 42 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and 12 great-great-grandchildren into the family.

In 2019, he celebrated his 110th birthday, becoming the first male supercentenarian from Venezuela.

After living through both World Wars, seeing the invention of the television, and witnessing the landing of a man on the moon, Juan Vicente also survived COVID-19 in 2020.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.

The next oldest man living is expected to be 112-year-old Gisaburo Sonobe of Japan, pending confirmation from his family.

There is a need for intense scrutiny with old-age claims.

GWR is advised in its ratification of longevity claims by the Gerontology Research Group, and, since 2005, by Senior Gerontology Consultant Robert Young.

Abu Zayd, più precisamente Zayd Abu Zayd Ab-Alh-Rahmann III, meglio conosciuto come "il Moro Zeyt", è un altro dei grandi protagonisti della nascita del Regno cristiano di Valencia.

Ultimo signore almohade di Valencia, era il pronipote del califfo berbero Abd-Al-Mucmin. Pur essendo originario di Baeza, era stato avviato alla politica dal nipote, il califfo Yusuf II, che lo nominò governatore di Valencia.

L’ultimo re almohade di Valencia vide presto sorgere problemi, sia per la pressione delle truppe cristiane a nord sia per quella di altri signori musulmani a sud. Insieme alla corruzione politica, che già esisteva all’epoca, avevano soffocato il popolo.

Dopo la morte del califfo Yusuf II, la decadenza politica si aggravò. Fu allora che Abu Zayd fu costretto a chiedere la protezione di Ferdinando III, il re santo di Castiglia. I raccolti rovinati da una piaga di cavallette e la mancanza di cibo incoraggiarono la ribellione della popolazione. In questa situazione, Zayyan Ibn Mardanis, discendente del re Lobo, arrivò a Valencia da Onda e guidò il rovesciamento di Abu Zayd, che dovette lasciare la città con il suo seguito e la sua famiglia nel 1229, diretto a Segorbe (Castellón).

Qui storia e leggenda si fondono, poiché si dice che la conversione del "moro Zeyt" sia avvenuta a Caravaca de la Cruz, dove la leggenda vuole che sia apparso il simbolo della croce.

Secondo la tradizione locale più diffusa, si dice che dalla fine del 1230 o all’inizio del 1231, il re almohade di Valencia e Murcia, Abu Zayd, si trovava nei suoi possedimenti a Caravaca. Interrogò i cristiani che teneva prigionieri per scoprire quali mestieri esercitassero, con l’obiettivo di occuparli secondo le loro capacità. Tra loro c’era il sacerdote Ginés Pérez Chirinos che, come missionario, era venuto da Cuenca nelle terre saracene per predicare il Vangelo. Egli rispose che il suo compito era quello di celebrare la messa e il re moresco voleva sapere com’era. Fu ordinato di portare da Cuenca i paramenti corrispondenti e il 3 maggio 1232, nella sala nobile della fortezza, il sacerdote iniziò la liturgia. Tuttavia, poco dopo aver iniziato la liturgia, dovette fermarsi, spiegando che gli era impossibile continuare perché mancava un elemento essenziale all’altare: un crocifisso.

In quel momento, attraverso una finestra della stanza, due angeli scesero dal cielo e posero delicatamente una croce a due bracci sull’altare. Il sacerdote poté quindi continuare la celebrazione della messa e, in presenza di tale meraviglia, Abu-Ceyt (insieme ai membri della sua corte presenti) si convertì al cristianesimo. In seguito si scoprì che la croce apparsa era il pettorale del vescovo Roberto, primo patriarca di Gerusalemme, realizzato con il legno della croce dove morì Gesù Cristo.

Quando Abu Zayd si convertì, prese il nome di Vicente Bellvís, come riportano le cronache dell’epoca. Morì tra il 1265 e il 1270.

La morte di Abu-Zayd è precedente all’11 dicembre 1268, data in cui il documento lo dichiara defunto. I suoi figli e parenti ricevettero un’importante eredità e, essendo imparentati con la nobiltà aragonese, divennero anch’essi signori cristiani.

Ensayando la Postura Nacional by Alexander Apóstol

Based on the paintings of Pedro Centeno Vallenilla

Caracas experienced a strong urban construction growth after the death of the dictator Juan Vicente Gómez in 1936 until the 70´s. Important political changes: European and Latin-American migrations, and especially petroleum costs variations made Venezuelan mentality change at a speeding race to new perspectives that were demonstrated in different areas, architecture being the main element of change towards a modern city. Besides the big social differences, from then on, the Venezuelans have conceived to an extreme this modern period of time as the dream of a better future. In that time, important plastic artist irrupted during the 40´s, 50´s and 60´s; Escuela de caracas (landscaping), Los Disidentes (abstraction), and the Techo de La Ballena (informalism) were some of the most important avant-garde movements. Curiously enough, the Venezuelan artist Pedro Centeno Vallenilla, formed under the fascist Italian regime and exhibitor of a peculiar nationalist theme with a characterized mannerist and exaggerated aesthetic, worked independently from the avant-garde movements, he was even considered as a minor artist by them. Due to Vallenilla´s profound political views at the time, he was able to establish himself as the official painter during the dictatorship of Marcos Pérez Jiménez in the 50´s, where buildings like the National Capitol, the National Military or collections and private homes were decorated with his Works. Nowadays his works are still hung in these official buildings, where the nation’s history and the autochthonous elements together with the exaggerated and idealized aesthetic of the body and race, are the main characters in his work. What interests me is how his fertile visual language feeds the creation myths of the birth of the nation and establishes it like a part of the Venezuelan culture, in the political, social, military and even economic grounds of the country; where his work exemplifies, maybe fortunately, the prejudice, contradictions and acceptations on how Venezuelans want to see ourselves and how we wanted to be seen (and still want to be), contrasting with the exacerbated and vulnerable narcissism that fundaments itself on the starting resentments that we drag on form the colonial times. Finally I would like to focus Centeno Vallenilla´s work, independently from his pictorial quality, like the heir of a confused Venezuelan modernity in conception and ideology, confronted in the same way with the confused and complex political and social times that we are now living. Where the frontier between liberal ideologies and economic pragmatism associated with the conservatives, are faded together with the political ways of the country. In the film and photos, works of Centeno Vallenilla dedicated to the nation’s history, race and traditions, are converted into a tableaux vivant by people that come from the marginated areas of Caracas, but that are situated in the natural context of this artist, these spaces are modern but at the same time unused buildings, like a mansion turned into an office building; Nevertheless, these models try again and again, without achieving the goal, of recreating work by work The forced postures of the personalities represented in Vallenilla´s Works, demonstrating that there is a possibility that the idiosyncrasy of Venezuela comes from the eternal intent, with form but without meaning, of imagining improvised utopias that result in mere rehearsals of the country.
