Palace built in Art Nouveau style in the 1920s, it has as a curiosity a large ear (from which it receives, in various variations, the name of cà dell'ureggia) in bronze, the work of a great artist, Adolfo Wildt, dating back to the Thirty. This work was an intercom, one of the first in Milan and beyond, which was used to contact the custodian

(Translated by Google) Unexpected! I did not know the history of this 'ear', used at the time as an intercom. Singular work of the sculptor Adolfo Wildt. (Original) Inaspettato! Non conoscevo la storia di questo 'orecchio', utilizzato ai tempi come citofono. Singolare opera dello scultore Adolfo Wildt.

Siamo stati davanti al palazzo Sola Busca per vedere il primo citofono di Milano e uno dei primi in Italia. Si tratta di una scultura in bronzo rappresentate un orecchio,curato nei minimi dettagli. Fungeva da vero e proprio citofono. Si racconta che chiunque si avvicini e gli sussurri un desiderio, un giorno lo vedrà realizzato, una leggenda che spinge turisti e non ad andare a visitarlo per bisbigliare i loro sogni. Consigliato per chi vuole vedere un’opera originale con un’interessante storia dietro.

(Translated by Google) A stone's throw from the Palestro metro stop in the Porta Venezia area is Palazzo Sola Busca or more simply for the Milanese "La Ca 'dell'ureggia". This stately Art Nouveau building with two entrances is located in via Serbelloni and via Maffei and was built between 1924 and 1927 by the Mantuan architect Aldo Andreani. The peculiarity of the building is precisely the huge bronze ear placed on the external wall of the main entrance. The work of the Milanese sculptor Adolfo Wildft was commissioned in 1930 by the architect and actually became the first rudimentary intercom in Milan. In fact, it was used to communicate with the concierge who informed the interested party of the visit. Of course, it no longer works today. A legend says that anyone who comes close to the ear and whispers a wish, one day it will come true. (Original) A due passi dalla fermata della metropolitana Palestro in zona Porta Venezia si trova Palazzo Sola Busca o più semplicemente per i milanesi "La Ca' dell'ureggia". Questo palazzo signorile in stile Liberty con due ingressi si trova in via Serbelloni e via Maffei e fu realizzato tra il 1924 e il 1927 dall'architetto mantovano Aldo Andreani. La particolarità del palazzo è appunto l'enorme orecchio in bronzo posto sulla parete esterna dell'ingresso principale. L'opera dello scultore milanese Adolfo Wildft fu commissionato nel 1930 dall'architetto e divenne in effetti il primo rudimentale citofono a Milano. Infatti serviva a comunicare col portiere che avvisava l'interessato della visita. Naturalmente oggi non funziona più. Una leggenda dice che chiunque si avvicina all'orecchio e sussurra un desiderio, un giorno questo si avvera.

The first intercom in Italy is located in Milan. It is a work from the 1930s signed by Adolfo Wildt (1868-1931), a genius of Art Nouveau. Whoever had to be announced by the doorman simply had to put his mouth close to his ear and speak there, so that the sound was amplified. Today it has become a small source of mystery: it is said that anyone who approaches and whispers a wish will one day see it come true.

The first intercom system in Italy (at least that’s what they say!)

Visitato esclusivamente per ricercare quello che si dice sia il primo citofono italiano. Molto carino poterlo apprezzare da vicino e leggerne la storia. Una perla nel cuore di Milano. Consigliato!

Nice little attraction in Milan in a quiet street near Corso Venezia: one of the first intercoms in the city. Milanese design was already at work. A few variations of "street art" can be found in the city.

It does not have a button panel or labels with names and surnames. The first intercom made in Italy has a bizarre shape: that of an enormous ear. And it is located in Milan. It is this bronze sculpture, complete with auricle and external auditory canal, located next to the entrance door of «Cà dell'oreggia», nickname in Milanese dialect of Palazzo Sola Busca Tradition says that if you have a wish and whisper it in your ear, it will come true. Seeing is believing! ☺️

Not to much to see... 20 cm bronze ear near the entrance... But the zone is nice with nice buildings

It is located in the quadrangle of silence. A few meters from Corso Venezia one of my favorite places for walking. Near the entrance there is the famous and much photographed 'ear'. Nearby there are many other buildings of unique architectural beauty. Among these, Villa Necchi Campiglio stands out and is an absolute must-see. Not only for the magnificent Villa with paid entrance, but also for having a drink in the outdoor bar near the swimming pool while enjoying the wonders of the garden where you don't need to pay any ticket. Also not to be missed are the pink flamingos I documented some time ago

If you're near the flamingos, you have to also see this peculiar intercom system. It's pretty interesting.

Also known as "Ca' de l'oreggia" in Milanese, it is a tourist attraction, it seems that if you whisper a wish in your ear it could come true

(Translated by Google) A house with one ear is hidden among the yellowed autumn leaves in Milan. It is called "Cà dell’oreggia" (ear house) and is an Art Nouveau building designed in the second half of the twenties by the Mantuan artist and Milanese by adoption, Aldo Andreani. This building is located in Via Serbelloni near Corso Venezia and its name derives from the large bronze ear with an auricle and external auditory canal, placed next to the entrance door. This work signed by the artist Adolfo Wildt around the 1930s was conceived as an intercom, one of the first examples, now no longer functional. Legend has it that if you whisper a wish in Wildt's ear, it comes true. (Original) Si trova a Milano nascosta tra le foglie ingiallite d’autunno una casa con un orecchio.

La leggenda narra che se si bisbliglia un desiderio nell’orecchio di Wildt , questo si avvera.

(Translated by Google) What a marvel ❤️ (Original) Che meraviglia ❤️

It's not a real tourist attraction, it's just an old bronze ear. It used to be the old door phone and they kept it as a decoration. It was symbolic that you had to talk into a very big ear.
