Let’s say, for a moment, that life is a song. When we’re in the middle of it, it seems like it’s going to last forever. So too, those seemingly immortal figures who defined entire generations with their voice, vision, and creative expression. It’s never easy saying a final “Ciao” to those iconic (for once, the word seems warranted here) identities from art, culture, cinema, and society who feel like they have been part of our lives for longer than we can remember.
But 2025 was another story. Rosita Missoni, Oliviero Toscani, Pippo Baudo, Mirella Petteni, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Gianni Berengo Gardin, Claudia Cardinale, Enzo Staiola, Giorgio Armani, and Ornella Vanoni, among others.
