– Photographer Oliviero Toscani died on Monday at the Cecina hospital in Tuscany. He was 82. Two years ago, he revealed he was suffering from amyloidosis.
It’s hard to forget the explicit and transgressive images of the senusal kiss between a priest and a nun, a black horse mounting a white one, or the shocking photograph to denounce anorexia of French model worked with important artists, who became friends and subjects of his portraits, such as Mick Jagger, Lou Reed, Carmelo Bene and Federico Fellini.
WIth Benetton, Toscani in 1991 launched Colors magazine and in 1994 also conceived Fabrica, the company’s think tank. However, Benetton abruptly fired Toscani in 2020 after the latter’s controversial remarks on the deadly collapse of the Morandi bridge in 2018. Toscani, in an earlier interview back then, had actually stood behind the Benettons during an interview with daily Corriere della Sera, denouncing a slanderous campaign against them.
