Oriana Fallaci was war correspondent, writer, journalisty and lived and worked in a world of men. She wrote passionate poems to Alekos Panaguils, her companion and one great love, with her beloved typewriter and told stories of hardships, death and the misery of women's conditions.
The city of Florence and the province of Tuscany pay homage to her with an exhibit in Palazzo Medici Riccardi and Palazzo Panciatichi.
The exposition was a journey trough one woman's life and her more important events during the thentieth century. In a part of Palazzo Medici Riccardi there are her family story and testimonials by journalists, politicians and friends, as Fallaci's books, such as "Insciallah" and "The Rage and the Pride", which are contextualized by letters, pictures, films that demonstrate her tenacy and energy, were represented in Palazzo Panciatichi.
Fallaci died on September 15 2006 in a Florence clinic and that day was marked by an international outpouring of love and affection from everyone.
