The most famous and awarded Italian photojournalist tells, for the first time and in her own voice, without censorship, her life as a photographer, a political figure and a woman. This is the biography of a woman who found the courage to fight to win herself back: photography is the spark that lights the star in her sky, the film running through the camera carrying the freedom with which she would revolutionize the meaning of images in news reporting. Her story, as a woman and a photojournalist, intersects with the history of a city bled by a mafia war. Her co-author reconstructs and analyzes the social and political landscape and the judicial outcomes of that season in which the photographer played a leading role, as a great and courageous witness.
