Letizia Battaglia: Just For Passion

Mario Puzo may have written the book and Coppola may have made the film about mafia, but only Letizia Battaglia told the real story; the plain, harsh story. Letizia Battaglia (Palermo, 1935) is a Sicilian photographer and photojournalist. Although her photos document a wide spectrum of Sicilian life, she is best known for her work on the Mafia. This is an anthology of Letizia Battaglia's extraordinary photographic work, from 1971 to 2016. A large selection of her iconic black and white images are published here, showing viewers one of post-war Italy's darkest periods.
