Italian fashion designer Valentino has died, his foundation has said.
Valentino was 93.
“Valentino Garavani passed away today at his Roman residence, surrounded by his loved ones,” the foundation said.
The lying in state will be on Wednesday and Thursday.
The funeral will be held on Friday, January 23rd, at 11:00 a.m., in the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri, at Piazza della Repubblica 8 in Rome.
Valentino Clemente Ludovico Garavani was born on May 11, 1932, in Voghera, in the province of Pavia.
After a long career, Valentino Garavani stepped down from the helm of his fashion house in 2007. In July 2012, the house was sold to the Qatari company Mayhoola for Investments. In 2023, the Kering group acquired a 30% stake in the Valentino Group for €1.7 billion. In 2016, together with Giammetti, he created the eponymous foundation with a purely philanthropic purpose.
