Ritorni a Beirut by Gabriele Basilico, in the words of curator Giovanna Calvenzi, is the book that "should be [...] ‘definitive’ in remembering the deep and passionate relationship that bound Gabriele Basilico to the city of Beirut, which over the years also became one of the cornerstones of his commitment to photography. In addition to extensive archival work re-examining everything Basilico produced, his ‘accomplices’ on his various trips were also invited to share their memories." The extensive selection of black-and-white and color photographs is introduced by texts by Gabriele Basilico, Giovanna Calvenzi, Tanino Musso, Fouad Elkoury, Gabriel Bauret, Christian Caujolle, Alessandro Ferrario, Rita Capezzuto, and a chronology by Farian Sabahi.
