Nearly thirty years apart, two photographers turned their cameras on Italian nightlife: Basilico's 1978 survey of dance halls in Emilia-Romagna, made for the magazine Modo, and Massimo Vitali's photographs of discotheques from the 2000s. Placed side by side, the two bodies of work trace how the temples of Italian mass entertainment changed across a generation, from the kitsch, Las Vegas-inflected dance floors of the late 1970s to the more spectacular, more crowded club culture that followed. The book includes a three-way conversation between Basilico, a photo editor and Vitali himself.
