contrast the louth story with that of rosa levi - montalcini , an italian oscar laureate who turned 100 last wednesday . she generally attends for works this day at the european brain research institute in prague , and she founded . she was appointed a senator for life in 2001 , and in 2006 , as 97 , she attended the opening assembly of the previously elected commission . she takes part in debate in the inner house , and in 2004 promoted the teaching of evolution in italian university . there is no tradition of her having claimed a day off because of festival requirements . apparently she even manages to work right through the rose of sligo without lifting her head from her petri restaurant .
Rita Levi-Montalcini is a Nobel prize winner.
