Divinarte: A tribute to combative photographer Letizia Battaglia during a three-day event of wine and culture.

Over 50 artists will be present in a true cultural marathon that, over the three days, will offer performance art, live music, theater, dance, and conferences.

The event, scheduled for October 3-5, 2025, from 6:00 PM to midnight, is dedicated to "Letizia Battaglia. A Heart That (Com)Beats," one of the most important Italian and international photographers, originally from Palermo, in the year that marks the ninetieth anniversary of her birth.

Letizia Battaglia turned her camera into a weapon of truth—not a weapon against individuals, but against silence. She passed away in 2022, but was one of the most courageous and significant figures in the cultural and civil struggle against the Mafia, in a land steeped in sun, beauty, and contradictions. Her photographs are not simply images, but are denunciation, memory, and resistance.

Battaglia aimed his lens at the truth. An often tragic truth, that of a Sicily bloodied by murders, vendettas, and power struggles. Among his most famous images is the shot of Piersanti Mattarella, president of the Sicilian Region, immediately after the deadly attack in 1980.

The dedication of DiVinArte 2025 aims to raise awareness of the wonder hidden in humanity, that beauty that is too often obscured by death.

This year's edition will be accompanied by the colors, dances, and music typical of Sicilian folklore, as well as tastings of Sicilian wines. There will also be a finger food stand and guided tastings led by Carlo Zucchetti.

Admission to Divinarte is free, while a ticket for 12 drinks with a free glass and glass holder costs €15, while a ticket for 6 drinks with a free glass and glass holder costs €10.
