Italian photographer and publicist Oliviero Toscani, who became famous for his provocative advertising campaigns for the Benetton brand, died Monday at 82 after a long illness, his family announced.

Toscani announced in August 2024 that he suffered from amyloidosis, a rare and incurable disease that creates insoluble protein deposits in tissues, and explained then that he had lost 40 kilos in a year.

In addition to working with Benetton, Toscani was the designer of advertising campaigns for Esprit, Valentino, Chanel and Fiorucci.
