Lisetta Carmi

 
Lisetta Carmi (born 1924 in Genoa) is “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.
