Antoine Ciosi, a French singer and composer, died on October 4, 2026, aged 94, in Corbara, Corsica.
Born on December 15, 1931, in Sorbo-Ocagnano, he grew up in a rural family of four children. In describing his childhood, Ciosi recalled the contrast between what he called free Corsica and the period of Italian occupation.
He also spoke of growing up with his father and in the setting of the family-run tavern. His memories thus encompassed both the circumstances of his family life and the changes he witnessed in Corsica during his early years. Ciosi began composing songs in the Corsican language. In 1963, he won first prize at the Festival de la chanson corse for “Paese spentu,” a distinction tied to a specific composition and one of the documented milestones of his work. His biography identifies him as a singer, composer and musician, and records his songwriting in Corsican alongside that festival recognition. Born and raised in Corsica, he died there in Corbara at the age of 94.
