Ten years after his death, Milan dedicates a large exhibition to Gabriele Basilico (1944-2013) which is divided into two exhibition venues - Palazzo Reale and Triennale Milano - and represents the first major homage that the city in which Basilico was born and lived addresses the photographer and his cosmopolitan gaze, capable of listening to the heart of all cities. The exhibition offers a total of over 500 works, starting from crossing the city of Milan at the Triennale to look at and arrive at the World at Palazzo Reale.

The exhibition “Gabriele Basilico. My cities", which opens to the public on 13 October 2023, is promoted and produced by the Municipality of Milan-Cultura, Palazzo Reale and Triennale Milano, together with Electa and created with the scientific collaboration of the Gabriele Basilico Archive.

At Palazzo Reale the exhibition is curated by Giovanna Calvenzi and Filippo Maggia and presents a selection of works on Basilico's major international commissions; in the Triennale, where the curatorship is entrusted to Giovanna Calvenzi and Matteo Balduzzi, a wide selection of images of Milan and its suburbs are exhibited.
