The celebrated Italian photojournalist Letizia Battaglia, best known for her work documenting the mafia and their victims in Sicily, has died aged 87.
Armed only with her Leica camera and mounted on a Vespa, Battaglia scoured the alleyways of Palermo during the 1970s and 1980s photographing the victims of mafia murders and the internal wars between rival clans. As a result she received several death threats.
