Welcome to a photographic journey along the Via Emilia, exploring the urban transformations of Emilia-Romagna over the past two decades. This project revisits the path of legendary photographer Gabriele Basilico, whose work captured the region's landscape and architecture over twenty years ago.
Our images reveal how Regional Law n°19 of 1998 has reshaped the urban fabric, promoting architectural renewal and revitalizing urban areas. This law, enacted to regulate the use of land and promote sustainable development, has left a profound mark on the cities along this historic road.
Through these photographs, we trace the changes—new residential areas, modernized public spaces, and the integration of contemporary design—all while paying homage to Basilico's original investigation and his deep appreciation for the landscape. We invite you to see the enduring legacy of this law and the evolving face of a dynamic region.
