Letizia Battaglia
Nata a Palermo nel 1935, Letizia Battaglia ha declinato in molti modi il suo impegno contro la criminalità: come fotografa, editrice, assessora, attivista per l’ambiente, fautrice dei diritti umani e delle donne. Le sue immagini, tassello fondamentale nella storia del reportage in Italia, le sono valse il prestigioso Premio Eugene W. Smith nel 1985 e, nel 1999, il Mother Johnson Achievement for Life. Si è spenta a Palermo il 13 aprile 2022, a 87 anni.
