Who knows if he drank the elixir of life and was bewitched by it. Certainly Oliviero Toscani , 80, monument photojournalist, has undergone the charm of the blue zone . Enough to take the plane, land in Sardinia and then, by car, arrive in Ogliastra to immortalize the centenarians of Guinness with his shots.

In the few days he spent in the land of olive trees he moved between Villagrande (record holder of male longevity), Perdasdefogu (who has record families), Arzana, which in terms of centenarians has even nineteenth-century traditions, Urzulei and Talana.

Son of art - his father Fedele was one of the historical photographers of the Corriere - between Genna Silana and the mouth of the Flumendosa - he captured the expressions, faces and feelings of the grandparents who certainly did not lack inspiration.

Which will be told to newspapers and TV, as every media event recommends. At unionesarda.it, by Oliviero Toscani, for now it is enough to know that it is there.
