Gravata case
The Gravata case was a medical case that happened during the first decades of the 1900s, regarding a Tuscan woman by that name who had many multiple births[1] and in total birthed 62 living children.
She was born in Tuscany, the twin daughter of a triplet.[2] Her first child was a girl. Her next pregnancy produced 6 sons, followed by 5 more the next year. Then 2 sets of triplets, and a set of quadruplets. The next 36 children were single or twin girls.[3] The last 4 were boys.[2]
