Oliviero Toscani has died at the age of 82. The photographer passed away in the Cecina hospital where he had been admitted since January 10th due to worsening conditions: "With immense sorrow," Toscani's family wrote on Instagram, "we announce that today, January 13, 2025, our beloved Oliviero embarked on his next journey.
We kindly ask for confidentiality and understanding for this moment that we would like to face in the intimacy of the family”. Signed “Kirsti Toscani with Rocco, Lola and Ali”.
Toscani had been hospitalized since January 10th at the Cecina hospital due to the worsening of amyloidosis, a disease that currently has no cure and from which the photographer was suffering. He was born in Milan on February 28th.
The news of Oliviero Toscani's death has affected me a lot, he was a photographer with a unique vision that influenced the world of photography. It's sad to know that we will not see him anymore.
I remember his provocative works and his way of seeing the world. His death is a great loss for Italian culture and for all photography lovers.
It is always difficult to cope with the loss of someone so important to the arts. Toscani has left a lasting legacy that will continue to inspire future generations.
