The first important project, Milan, will be exhibited by the Milanese artist, one of the most significant and internationally recognized. Portraits of factories, made between 1978 and 1980, and a survey on Renaissance civil architecture carried out in 2012 for the volume Italy. Masterpieces of the Renaissance by FMR-AR T'E ', which will be presented during the exhibition.

The exhibition connects two significant moments in Basilico's research: the representation of the Milanese industrial world in a moment of irreversible transformation, at the end of the 1970s, and the reflection on the artistic history of our country. In the text, The right measure (2012) Basilico wrote: "Placing myself in front of these architectures, considered the quintessence of the Renaissance measure, I chose to apply this compositional freedom to subjects with a very dense identity: dense for the cultural implications that they carry within themselves, dense due to the reverberations of picturesque that today's tourist gaze projects on you ”.
