Was the pilot 55 or 75??? If 75, why was he piloting a passenger plane? Is there an age limit for AA or Delta?

Flying a non-airline aircraft does not have the age 60 limit that US carriers do. In fact, foreign air carriers have a slightly higher retirement age - JAL is 62, I think. For corporate jobs, such as sightseeing flights, etc., the age limit is up to the company. In the US at least, as long as you can pass your FAA medical exam (every 6 months for 1st class, needed for ATPs; every year for second class, needed for CFIs and commercial pilots; every two or three years, depending on whether you're under 40 for third class, needed for private pilots not flying passengers for hire).

"Il velivolo, proveniente da Locarno, aveva a bordo solo il pilota, Mino Fasulo, di 75 anni "
From RAI. Could be wrong on the alleged pilot's age, though.
