Lisetta Carmi
Lisetta Carmi (1924-2022) was "a wandering soul:" concert pianist,
traveller and founder of a meditation community in Apulia. She was also a
freelance photographer who, in her works of documentation and social
condemnation, anticipated a great deal of "real-life" photography of the
1970s. Over recent years, major retrospectives of her work have been held,
including that in Palazzo Ducale in Genoa.
