Letizia Battaglia. Fotografia Come Scelta Di Vita. Ediz. Italiana E Inglese
Over 300 newly published works by Letizia Battaglia (born 1935), one of Italy's most celebrated photographers, are collected in this major new survey spanning the entirety of her 30-year photographic career. In photographs and contact prints from Battaglia's own archive, the book offers a comprehensive review of her work's civically engaged model for photography, typified by her iconic depictions of political protests and Mafia killings in her native Palermo in Sicily, taken while Battaglia was employed as photography director at the leftist daily newspaper L'Ora. Including portraits of subjects such as Pier Paolo Pasolini, the mob boss Leoluca Bagarella and the Sicilian politician Piersanti Mattarella (assassinated by the Mafia), the photographs in this collection showcase Battaglia's attention to the most decisive events in Italy, both political and cultural, along with non-newsworthy records of the daily lives of people in Palermo.

Letizia Battaglia
Since the 1970s Letizia Battaglia has been documenting life in her native Sicily Siciliana narrates a less familiar, more dramatic Sicily: portraits of people, often of little girls, moments of life, flashes of irony. What is striking is the conflict between acceptance and outrage. Groups of onlookers, stoical and beyond shock, have seen it all before. Mourners wracked by sobs seem to be playing out a tragedy that defines every chapter of their lives. But Battaglia refuses to accept this reality. Her lens moves in too close for comfort, capturing a moment that is not meant to be seen, a scene that perhaps will be set back in order, hurriedly, as soon as possible. Some of the pictures have never been published before, including those in which Battaglia presents a series of nudes standing in front of blow-ups of her historic images.
