Sky Arte will air the documentary 'Oliviero Toscani. Chi mi ama mi segua' on January 13, marking the first anniversary of the photographer's death. Directed by Fabrizio Spucches, who collaborated with Toscani for over a decade, the film uses the photographer's own voice and unpublished materials to explore his life, thought, and legacy.
