The Teatro Sociale of Bergamo is an ideal setting for the exhibition Basil Beirut, which displays 42 photographs by Gabriele Basilico in the city symbol of the civil war: Beirut. An octagonal structure in whitened panels is a kind of architecture in the architecture that deliberately recalls the image of a baptistery as a place of rebirth. It hosts in a bright micro labirint, the distressing images of a city that for decades slowly agonizes under the blows of the mortars. The white walls and smooth bodywork are contrasting with the content of the images (riddled buildings, windows without a single intact glass, empty streets) that with the space welcomes him, a space where time and weather have left merciless scars.
