Picture of Palestinian Funeral March Wins World Press Photo 2013 Top Prize

This image by Fausto Podavini, Italy, from the series “Mirella” won 1st prize in the Daily Life Stories category of the 56th World Press Photo Contest, it was announced by the organizers in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, on 15 February 2013. It shows Mirella taking care of her husband Luigi, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease, in Rome, Italy, 01 June 2010. Despite her husband's life-threatening disease, Mirella devoted her life to assisting Luigi, trying to be positive and reassuring, looking after him with intense love and respect. Everyday care, usually done in a few minutes, takes hours when it concerns someone with dementia. Mirella, 71, spent 43 years of her life with the only person she loved, with all of life's difficulties, laughter, and beautiful moments. But over the last six years things changed: Mirella lived with her husband Luigi�s illness, Alzheimer�s, and devoted her life to him as his caregiver. (Photo by Fausto Podavini/EPA)
