Some forty pictures made and chosen by Franco Zecchin, going back over moments of private and public life shared with Letizia Battaglia between the middle of the seventies and the beginning of the nineties: theatre and music, the work in the psychiatric hospital, festivals, meetings with Turkish peasant women, Roma musicians and gardeners in Palermo, and journeys made with their friend Josef Koudelka.
“These pictures give body to a visual account that tries to find, beside the social commitment the media so often turned into heroism, the figure of a more human Letizia. They follow an itinerary made of encounters, of ordinary moments, of journeys taken to know other places, people and social settings.” — Franco Zecchin
