Letizia Battaglia, a Sicilian photojournalist who risked her life to document the brutal crimes of her Italian island's notorious Cosa Nostra Mafia, has died aged 87.
Battaglia, a reporter who only started taking photographs in 1974, shortly before her 40th birthday, focused her lens on the bloody feuds between the various Cosa Nostra crime families in Sicily, including the Corleone clan from the small town of that name outside Palermo.
