LEONARDO SCIASCIA - Lot 296
LEONARDO SCIASCIA Sicilian writer and politician, 1980s. Photo by Giovanna Borgese, vintage silver gelatin print on card stock, photographer’s stamp on the back. 23.2 x 29.7 cm, including white border. Note: This photograph, taken in the 1980s by Giovanna Borgese, depicts Leonardo Sciascia, one of the leading intellectual figures of contemporary Italy. A Sicilian writer, essayist, journalist, and politician, Sciascia established himself as a lucid observer of Italian society, addressing themes such as power, justice, corruption, and the workings of the Mafia in his work. Among his most famous works are *The Day of the Owl* (*Il giorno della civetta*), *To Each His Own* (*A ciascuno il suo*), and *The Context* (*Il contesto*), which earned him international recognition. His civic commitment also led him to hold political office, notably as a member of the Italian and European Parliaments. Directed by Giovanna Borgese, this portrait captures the image of a major intellectual whose influence extended far beyond the literary sphere. A vintage silver gelatin print bearing the photographer’s stamp, it stands as a valuable tribute to one of the most important critical voices in 20th-century Italy.
