Nadia Toffa (10 June 1979 – 13 August 2019)[1] was an Italian journalist and television presenter for satirical current affairs programme Le Iene who gained attention in 2017 for a series of stories about the environmental impacts of alleged nuclear testing at the Gran Sasso Laboratory.

Among the most famous are those on alleged scams carried out by pharmacies against the national health service, on the proliferation of slot machine rooms, on illegal waste disposal in Campania at the hands of the Camorra, on the growing rate of tumours in the "triangle of death" between Naples and Caserta and on the "land of poisons" in Crotone.

In the same years, she found out to be a victim of false advertising, after a fake interview and deepfake videos of her appeared online, showing the journalist 'promoting' Chocolite, an alleged weight loss beverage.

On 2 December 2017, Toffa suffered a collapse during a report in Trieste, and this led to her temporary departure from working life.

On 13 August 2019, at 07:39 at age 40, Toffa died from brain cancer in her hometown Brescia, having been hospitalised from the beginning of July following the worsening of her health.
