The component of travel was a constant for Gabriele Basilico (1944-2013) who is considered one of the masters of contemporary photography. Starting in 1984, with the trip to Normandy for the Mission photographique de la DATAR (the biggest public commission in the history of photography), he began a long series of trips. This experience forever changed his way of seeing and thus the exhibition Nelle Città was born. It’s definitely a must-see.
