Date of death? edit

There seems to be conflicting info regarding when Rotunno died. The link in the main Wikipedia article, from La Republicca, mentions no death date :

https://www.repubblica.it/spettacoli/cinema/2021/02/07/news/morto_peppino_rotunno_il_maestro_della_fotografia-286445283/

The Italian Wikipedia and Varity says he died Sunday:

https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Rotunno

https://variety.com/2021/film/global/giuseppe-rotunno-dead-1234903063/

This is contradicted, though, by this obituary from Corriere Della Sera. It states that Rotunno died "ieri" which means "yesterday", and since the article was written on Sunday that would indicate that Rotunno died already on Saturday:

Which source should we believe and go with194.69.14.77 (talk) 10:35, 8 February 2021 (UTC)?Reply

This morning, the French magazine Paris Match says that he died Sunday: "Giuseppe Rotunno est mort dimanche à Rome". However, AFAIK, this source is not always reliable. — Vincent Lefèvre (talk) 10:51, 8 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Sunday has now been confirmed by 2 other references (Variety, Deadline). I've added them to wikidata. — Vincent Lefèvre (talk) 18:15, 9 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
