Totò had a reputation as a [[Playboy lifestyle|playboy]]. One of his lovers, the well known [[sciantosa|chanteuse]] and [[dancer]] {{ill|Liliana Castagnola|it}}, committed suicide after their relationship ended.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.corriere.it/cronache/17_agosto_07/toto-relazione-pericolosa-liliana-castagnola-che-si-uccise-lui-ora-non-guardero-piu-nessuno-5d489a6c-7bb2-11e7-8e8c-39c623892090.shtml?refresh_ce-cp|title= Totò e la relazione pericolosa con Liliana Castagnola.

He buried Liliana in his family's chapel, and named his only daughter [[Liliana de Curtis|Liliana]] (born 10 May 1933 to his wife, Diana Bandini Rogliani, whom he married in 1935).

Another personal tragedy was the premature birth of his son Massenzio in 1954. The child died a few hours later. He was the son of Totò's mistress [[Franca Faldini]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.viagginews.com/2019/08/04/toto-chi-e-compagna-franca-faldini-carriera-vita-privata/|title= Totò, chi è la compagna Franca Faldini: carriera e vita privata|date=4 August 2019|publisher=viagginews.com|language=it|access-date=26 April 2020}}</ref> During a tour in 1956, he lost most of his eyesight due to an eye infection that he had ignored to avoid cancelling his show and disappointing his fans. Arguably however, the handicap almost never affected his schedule and acting abilities.

Totò died at the age of 69 on 15 April 1967 in Rome after a series of heart attacks. Due to overwhelming demand, there were no fewer than three funeral services: the first in Rome, a second in his birth city of [[Naples]]—and a few days later, in a third one by the local [[Camorra]] boss, an empty [[coffin|casket]] was carried along the packed streets of the popular Rione Sanità quarter where he was born.<ref>{{cite web |title=Quel 15 aprile 1967 |language=it |website=Antoniodecurtis.com |url=http://www.antoniodecurtis.com/15aprile.htm |access-date=10 September 2017 }}</ref>
