From June 5 and for the whole summer period, Studio la Città will be devoting a tribute to the famous photographer Gabriele Basilico by reserving some of the gallery rooms to his work about the city of Beirut and to the projection of the film Beyrouth Centre Ville, 1991 by Tanino Musso, the reporter for the RAI who followed Basilico during his photographic mission in the city destroyed by the long civil war.
