The COVID-19 emergency has not
stopped ANSA producing its annual book of the year's top photos.
Indeed, if anything, the story told by PhotoAnsa 2020, is more
vital than ever.
The pandemic dominates the book, with an image of Army trucks
transporting coffins away from coronavirus-devastated Bergamo
because the city's funeral facilities were overwhelmed among the
most powerful.
The are also images of Italians singing on their balconies
during the lockdown, the silent streets of Italy's usually
bustling city centres and Pope Francis praying for humanity in a
deserted St Peter's Square.
But the book also features other stories, covering the Black
Lives Matter movement and the US presidential election, among
other things.
"Usually books talk about the past, whether it be distant or
recent," said ANSA President Giulio Anselmi.
"But these pages seek to give an account, as faithfully as
possible, of a drama that is still taking place".
