LETIZIA BATTAGLIA

To see Palerme and die

In this Arrest of the ferocious mafia boss Leoluca Bagarella, Palermo, 1979, we see all the sharpness of Letizia Battaglia (1935-2022), who documented the bloody ravages of the Mafia. Through Sicilian Chronicles, the Berthet-Aittouarès gallery presents her work from 1970 to 1990, as well as that of her partner Franco Zecchin. For those who want to learn more about the career of this courageous freedom fighter, you can read Je m'empare du monde où qu'il soit (I seize the world wherever it may be) by Sabrina Pisu, published by Actes Sud.
