Summary edit

Description
Italiano: La cancellata di Palazzo Castiglioni in Corso Venezia a Milano (di Giuseppe Sommaruga), eseguita dalla ditta Ghianda e Magnoni su disegno dello stesso Sommaruga. Il palazzo Castiglioni (1904) è un po' il "manifesto" artistico dell'Art Nouveau a Milano. Fiancheggiato in origine da due prosperose cariatidi seminude di Ernesto Bazzaro, questo portone meritò al palazzo il poco lusinghiero soprannome di "Ca' di ciapp" ("Casa delle chiappe") suscitando polemiche fino a che le statue "scandalose" furono rimosse e sostituite con la presente, innocua decorazione scolpita da Ambrogio Pirovano. Foto di Giovanni Dall'Orto, 22-4-2007.
English: The gate from the main entrance to Palazzo Castiglioni Corso Venezia in Milan, Italy, by Giuseppe Sommaruga, built by the firm Ghiand e Magnoni on a drawing by Sommaruga himself. The palace Castiglioni (1904) ranks as a sort of "manifesto" of the Art Nouveau style in Milan. The door was originally flanked by two half-nude, sensuous caryatids by Ernesto Bazzaro, which caused a stir in town because of their "outrageous" eroticism. The palace was dubbed "Ca' di ciapp" ("The bum-house") and eventually the offending statues were removed, putting at their place the current, mean decoration by Ambrogio Pirovano. Picture by Giovanni Dall'Orto, April 22 2007.
