Fondazione Sozzani hosts Giovanna Calvenzi and Umberto Saibene, who present Gabriele Basilico by Free Zone 2006, his first color book published by Humboldt Books, which follows Iran 1970, Morocco 1971, and Glasgow 1969.
In 1993, the great Israeli director Amos Gitai visited Gabriele Basilico’s exhibition on Beirut in Paris. He was impressed and involved him in a project about his father Ben, an architect in Israel in the 1930s. A decade passed and in 2006 Amos Gitai contacted Basilico again for a project on Free Zone, the free trade area between Jordan and Israel on which he had directed the film of the same name presented at Cannes in 2005.
