The island-world

A journey through the lives and imagination of two leading figures of the twentieth century: Goliarda Sapienza and Letizia Battaglia. In A Catania con Goliarda Sapienza (Giulio Perrone editore), Lorena Spampinato draws the portrait of a writer who defies every cliché, weaving together geographies, memories, and desires. Eleonora Lombardo, in A Palermo con Letizia Battaglia (Giulio Perrone editore), retraces the life and gaze of the great Palermitan photojournalist, revealing how her art uncovered the complexity of Palermo and transformed the urban experience into a testament of beauty and civic commitment. At the heart of it all, the undisputed protagonist: Sicily — an Island-world, a crossroads of narratives and visions.
