Gabriele Basilico

[3] In the mid-1980s he was part of a group of photographers commissioned by the French Government (DATAR) to document the transformation of the Transalpine landscape.

Starting from this book he selected a photographic series exposed at Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, CPF (Centro Portugues de Fotografia) in Porto, MART (Museo d'Arte Moderna di Trento e Rovereto) in Trento, and at MAMBA (Museo de Arte Moderno) in Buenos Aires.

He received the prize “I.N.U.” (Istituto Nazionale di Urbanistica) due to his contribution to the documentation of the contemporary urban space.

His last public work was showcased in December 2012, at the inauguration of a new square, Piazza Gae Aulenti, in Milan.

The work consisted of a series of photographs that portrayed the Porta Nuova Project from its inception through completion.
