Gabriele Basilico
Le mie città
Ten years after his death, Milan is devoting a major exhibition to Gabriele Basilico, divided between two exhibition venues: Palazzo Reale and Triennale Milano. This is the first great tribute that the city in which Basilico was born and lived has paid to the photographer and his cosmopolitan gaze, capable of capturing the essence of all cities. The exhibition at Triennale presents the documentation work Basilico has done on his own city over the course of nearly 40 years, recounting the architecture, building fabric, monuments, urban development and transformations of Milan and its metropolitan area. More than any other city, Milan offered Basilico the opportunity to experiment, to undertake research with breadth of themes, time at his disposal, and capacity for movement.
