It is with great sadness that we announce the death of photographer Gianni Giansanti. Giansanti passed away on March 18, 2009 at the age of 53 following a long illness.

His first break came when, as a young news photographer, he was the only one to photograph Red Brigade kidnap victim former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro, dead in the trunk of a car. The image garnered him his first Time cover and he subsequently joined the Sygma agency, where he stayed on for some 20 years. Since 2002 he has been represented by Grazia Neri and Polaris Images.
