Maurice Olivari died at the age of 76.
DEATH – A pillar of the TF1 news. Journalist Maurice Olivari died this Tuesday, February 13, at the age of 76. A former foreign correspondent, he was an emblematic figure at TF1, which he joined in 1976.
Before becoming a journalist for the first channel, Maurice Olivari first worked for ORTF. Then he covered international news for TF1 for more than 40 years: in the United States, Hong Kong and Iraq. But it was especially from Italy that he made his mark, since he spent more than 20 years in Rome. There, he notably covers news from the Vatican. During his career, he regularly appeared during the news of Jean-Pierre Pernaut, who died in March 2022.
“The entire editorial team pays tribute to him and presents its condolences to his family” declared the channel on its site TF1 info.
Maurice Olivari, the incarnation of the profession of journalism
In a report in tribute to her memory, broadcast during Marie-Sophie Lacarrau’s 1 p.m. news this Tuesday, the editorial team looks back on her career. “It’s a face, a voice, which will have left its mark on our channel”.

Politics, natural disasters, social events and even culture… Maurice Olivari has covered all types of subjects. Much more than a reporter, it was his talent for recounting events that is praised today. His colleagues at TF1 describe him as the incarnation of “great report”.
Since the announcement of his death, messages of tribute have multiplied. Like the director of digital information TF1/LCI, Olivier Ravanello, many remember the colleague, but also the friend that he was.

Others remember his voice “hoarse”, “broken and hot” so special. A voice that has punctuated the news on TF1 over the past 40 years.
