Cm 27,5x24,5, pp. 128 Rilegato (hardback) Ottimo (Fine)The first, systematic cataloguing project of Milan's industrial realities, carried out between 1978 and 1980, is presented again in 2009 in a new, enriched edition.
"In the magical suspension of light at Easter 1978, moving around the city from zone to zone, map in hand," Basilico writes, "I found myself in zone 14, between via Ripamonti and via Ortles, in an area mainly characterised by industrial buildings. For the first time I 'saw' the streets and, with them, the façades of the factories standing out sharply, clear and isolated against an unexpectedly blue sky, where the usual vision suddenly became unusual." G. Basilico
