==Personal life==
[[File:Toscanini wife and unidentified woman.jpg|thumb|Toscanini with his wife and daughter Wally]]
Toscanini married Carla De Martini on June 21, 1897, when she was not yet 20 years old. Their first child, [[Walter Toscanini|Walter]], was born on March 19, 1898. A daughter, Wally, was born on January 16, 1900. Carla gave birth to a boy, Giorgio, in September 1901, but he died of [[diphtheria]] on June 10, 1906, in [[Buenos Aires]]. Then, that same year (1906), Carla gave birth to their second daughter, [[Wanda Toscanini|Wanda]].{{citation needed|date=September 2023}}

Toscanini worked with many great singers and musicians throughout his career, but few impressed him as much as pianist [[Vladimir Horowitz]]. They worked together a number of times and recorded Brahms' [[Piano Concerto No. 2 (Brahms)|second piano concerto]] and Tchaikovsky's [[Piano Concerto No. 1 (Tchaikovsky)|first piano concerto]] with the NBC Symphony for RCA Victor. Horowitz also became close to Toscanini and his family. In 1933, Wanda Toscanini married Horowitz, with the conductor's blessings and warnings; they remained married until Vladimir Horowitz' death in 1989. Wanda's daughter Sonia was photographed by ''[[Life (magazine)|Life]]'' playing with the conductor.<ref>"The Maestro Plays Games with Sonia on the Lawn." ''LIFE'', November 27, 1939, 66&ndash;67</ref>

During World War II, Toscanini lived in [[Wave Hill (New York)|Wave Hill]], a historic home in Riverdale.<ref>Frank, Mortimer H. [http://www.juilliard.edu/update/journal/353journal_story_0204.asp "A Toscanini Odyssey"], ''The Juilliard Journal Online'', April 2002. Retrieved February 26, 2008. "That archive was housed at Wave Hill, Toscanini's Riverdale residence during World War II."</ref>

Despite the reported infidelities revealed in Toscanini's letters documented by Harvey Sachs (most famously, with soprano [[Geraldine Farrar]]), he remained married to Carla until she died on June 23, 1951, and Toscanini remained widowed.<ref>{{cite news
