About
«The images composing this volume retrace private and public moments shared with Letizia Battaglia from the 70s to the beginning of the 90s: theatre, music, the activities of the psychiatric hospital, friends, festivals, contemporary artistic creation. While maintaining our own personalities, we trained in photography together and through it its outlook and approach to reality, complementary but not identical.[...]
In this moment, in which Letizia is no longer with us, but her public presence endures and her image is used often in ways that do not reflect who she was, this volume wants to pay homage to her as a person, with her weaknesses, contradictions, her will power and ideals.»
