Letizia Battaglia: The Photographer Who Documented the Mafia

Letizia Battaglia spent decades photographing Mafia crime scenes, murders, and corrupt politicians in Palermo for L'Ora newspaper, accumulating around 600,000 images before the paper folded in 1990. A new book collects her work, including material beyond the crime reportage she's best known for. Self-taught, she began shooting in her 40s and her photos were used as evidence linking politicians to organised crime.
