During his career, Roiter released about one hundred photographic books.[3] After his death, his daughter Jessica decided to establish a foundation to preserve and promote the photographer's artistic legacy. The Fulvio Roiter Foundation has the task of disseminating and promoting the works that tell the story of a life dedicated to photography, as well as rediscovering Roiter's works and his unpublished works.[4]
