Where does its name come from?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Built around the end of the 19th century, around 1878, it was designed by architect Gilberto Buzzi and owes its name to the presence of several high reliefs depicting the faces of illustrious Italians of all times on the fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among these we recognise: Leonardo da Vinci, Ugo Foscolo, Antonio Appiani, Alessandro Manzoni, Carlo Porta, and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This type of decoration is part of the trend and fashion that spread in Milan between the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th century called \u201ccase parlanti\/talking houses”.
The \u201ccase parlanti\/talking houses\u201d were, in fact, tributes to famous stories or characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ca’ di Facc, in Piazza Baiamonti 3, consists of four original floors to which another was added later (in a different era), for a total of five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each floor has several windows, for a total of 68, many of which (51 to be precise) are embellished with medallions depicting faces, giving the building a monumental appearance.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"raw":"\n\n\n

Costruita intorno alla fine dell\u2019800, 1878 circa, fu progettata dall\u2019architetto GIlberto Buzzi e deve il suo nome alla presenza di diversi altorilievi raffiguranti volti di italiani illustri di tutti i tempi sulla facciata.
Riconosciamo tra questi: Leonardo da Vinci, Ugo Foscolo, Antonio Appiani, Alessandro Manzoni, Carlo Porta, e molti altri.
Questa tipologia di decorazione fa parte della corrente e moda diffusa a Milano tra la seconda met\u00e0 dell\u2019800 e gli inizi del \u2018900 chiamata \u201ccase parlanti\u201d.
Le \u201ccase parlanti\u201d infatti erano degli omaggi a storie o personaggi famosi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Ca\u2019 di Facc, in Piazza Baiamonti 3, \u00e8 composta da quattro piani originari a cui successivamente (in altra epoca) ne \u00e8 stato aggiunto uno, per un totale di 5.
Ogni piano conta diverse finestre per un totale di 68, molte delle quali (51 per la precisione) sono poi arricchite con i medaglioni raffiguranti i volti, che conferiscono all\u2019edificio un aspetto monumentale.<\/p>\n","_it_post_name":"casa-delle-facce","_it_post_excerpt":"","_it_post_title":"La Ca\u2019 di Facc \/ Casa delle Facce","_en_post_content":"\n\n\n
