Commissioned by the Italian State Railways, Basilico spent time documenting the railway border crossings that connect Italy to the rest of Europe. Rather than a solo survey, the resulting volume places his three photographic portfolios alongside eighty-five archival images by other well-known photographers, among them Henri Cartier-Bresson, William Klein, Tony Ray-Jones and Lord Snowdon, framing Basilico's contemporary border stations within a wider history of railway photography. The book carries a preface by architect Aldo Rossi. A smaller selection from the project was revisited in a 2017 exhibition catalogue.
