Gabriele Basilico's Milan Retrospective Spans Two Venues

A significant retrospective exhibition of Gabriele Basilico's photography, named 'Le mie città', is set to launch in Milan at both Palazzo Reale and Triennale Milano. Curated by Giovanna Calvenzi, Filippo Maggia, and Matteo Balduzzi, the show includes approximately 500 pieces, with 180 displayed on walls across 13 series. The Triennale segment emphasizes Milan, presenting black-and-white factory portraits from 1978 to 1980 alongside later color photographs. At Palazzo Reale, Umberto Zanetti's installation features large-format images from Italy and beyond. Notable works include 'Sezioni del paesaggio italiano', made for the 1996 Venice Architecture Biennale, showcasing 96 prints over 50 km of Italian landscape. Basilico, who graduated in architecture from Politecnico di Milano in 1973, passed away prior to Milan's post-Expo 2015 changes. An orange-covered catalog by Electa accompanies the exhibition.
