Letizia Battaglia returns to Drago

Drago is thrilled to showcase Letizia Battaglia once again, building upon the triumph of her Anthology. This time, the renowned Sicilian photographer presents her latest creation, “Just For Passion,” which serves as a comprehensive catalogue of her exhibition held at Rome’s prestigious MAXXI National Museum of the 21st Century Arts.

Denouncing corruption, exalting beauty

The book explores the incredible scope and character of Letizia Battaglia’s work. This book delves into the profound depth and essence of Letizia Battaglia’s artistry. Featuring over one hundred photographs, including previously unreleased gems, it offers an intimate glimpse into the complex tapestry of Italian life. It juxtaposes haunting images of the Mafia with exquisite portraits of the women and children of Palermo. In a recent interview with The Daily Beast, Battaglia eloquently conveyed that through the dual nature of her work, she aspired “to denounce corruption and to exalt beauty.”

International contributors

The book boasts contributions from esteemed individuals including Fred Ritchin, the Dean of the International Centre of Photography in New York; curator Paolo Falcone; journalist Attilio Bolzoni; photography critic Giovanna Calvenzi; the Mayor of Palermo, Leoluca Orlando; Palermo’s Anti-Mafia Magistrate, Franca Imbergamo; the President of the MAXXI Museum, Giovanna Melandri; and the Museum’s Director of Architecture, Margherita Guccione.

Letizia Battaglia’s latest work promises to be a thought-provoking and visually captivating exploration of Italy’s complexities and contrasts.
