Letizia Battaglia. L’opera 1970-2020

Place: CAMERA. Italian Center for Photography. Address: CAMERA. Italian Center for Photography, Via delle Rosine 18, 10123 Turin, TO The exhibition explores the life and work of the great Sicilian photographer Letizia Battaglia, restoring the richness and diversity of her artistic expression and her constant social and civic commitment. An intense journey through more than 200 images, including the famous photographs on the tragic mafia events, in which news reporting intertwines with denunciation in a courageous interpretation of the work of a photojournalist. The exhibition also highlights the photographer's desire to tell the story of the soul of her land, Palermo and Sicily, returning both light and shadow: the daily difficulties and the dignity of people, love and joy, the beauty in young faces, the ritual and identity dimension of religious festivals, up to the moving realities of life in a psychiatric hospital. The exhibition path is completed by 22 magazines with which the photographer collaborated and of which, in some cases, she was also founder and publisher, in addition to a docufilm about her life.
