Giancarlo Basili

Giancarlo Basili serves as Professor of Scenography for Cinema at ABABO Academy of Fine Arts, teaching within the Languages of Cinema and Audiovisual program (Course Code ABPR22, 6 CFA credits). His office in location L16 hosts weekly Thursday appointments from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, reflecting active institutional engagement.

His pedagogical focus centers on cinematic spatial design, examining how set construction interacts with lighting, costume, and narrative through screenings and behind-the-scenes analysis of landmark films including Nanni Moretti's Palme d'Or-winning The Son's Room and Giorgio Diritti's L'uomo che verrà. Course methodology emphasizes visual deconstruction of historical and contemporary filmic spaces to reveal storytelling mechanics.

Professor Basili's professional achievements include industry-recognized design excellence:

• Silver Ribbon Award for Best Production Design (The Man Who Will Come)
• Four Ciack d'oro awards spanning Gabriele Salvatores' Nirvana to Giuseppe Piccioni's Luce dei miei occhi
• 18 David di Donatello nominations for films like Marco Bellocchio's Enrico IV

Student assessment culminates in thesis presentations requiring visual narrative analysis of selected cinematographic works, followed by comprehensive examinations of course material on set design principles.
