This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:35, 2 September 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Casa Guazzoni''' is a building at via Malpighi 12 in [[Milan]] in the [[Liberty style]], or Italian [[Art Nouveau]].

==History of the building==

[[Image:saom1.jpg|thumb|Still existing stables of S.A.O.]]

It was planned by architect Giovanni Battista Bossi (1864–1924) in 1904–1906 on behalf of Cav. Giacomo Guazzoni, who was living before in via Leonardo da Vinci 49/a,<ref>Guida Savallo, 1902</ref> master builder as a profession. Guazzoni was also the executer of the work.
 
The house was built in a part of the area previously occupied by Società Anonima degli Omnibus (S.A.O), founded in 1861 to manage public transportation in Milan with horse trams and which also had the concession of Tranvia Milano-Monza, inaugurated on 8 July 1876 by the future king [[Umberto I of Italy]].

In 1900 the Municipality decided to publish a bid for a service of electric trams, won by [[Thomas Edison|Edison]], S.A.O. was the second with the Westinghouse technology. The garage of via Sirtori which hosted 280 horses was closed, the land was sold to private people and the buildings demolished apart from 3 stables for 54 horses each, still visible in via Sirtori 32 (Twinset) e 24 (Nervesa shop).

Via Malpighi was opened and new houses were built along the street.

The building has been put under the protection of Beaux Arts on 3 May 1965 while all the area is under environmental protection from 6 February 2003.

The facade has been cleaned and restored in 1982 under the direction of arch. Hybsch by Alvini Restauri.

The decoration of the entrance and the staircase were restored by R.A. of arch. Piero Arosio in 1997.

The facade has been cleaned and restored again in 2022 by Naos Restauri of arch. Piero Arosio.

==Structure of the building ==
The building is made of a double body with the shape of an "L” on a trapezoidal lot and is located at the corner of via Malpighi with via Melzo.

The structure is made of supporting walls in bricks. The slab between the basement and the ground floor is made of reinforced concrete.

== The decorations==
The motivation of the historical restriction is the following:

“Important example of Milan [[Art Nouveau]]. It is characterized by a free treatment of the cement material and the application of exquisite wrought-iron united with a vivacious figurative sense. The building with protruding eaves has on the corner two superimposed and linked together balconies.  The decoration is important in the first floor and emerges with putti that sustain the balconies and railings adorned in various ways.  Other balconies are linked to the first ones with coupled iron columns and also have iron railings designed with an expressive style coherence.”

"Differently from [[Casa Galimberti]], here the cromatic effect, which should be chiaroscuro, is obtained using different materials: cement and iron are both structure and decoration.  Also in this case the balconies and the windows become lighter going upwards, just as the decorations become simpler towards the top floor: the dense twine of putti and wreaths, sculpted in cement around the windows and the railings of the first floor becomes simpler in the vibrant and sharp weave of the above iron work. The architectural and decorative composition is very well chosen and extremely proportionate in its elements."<ref>Architettura Liberty a Milano, Salvadè-Frizzi Brianza, Mazzotta, 1984</ref>

The paintings in the belt between the second and the third floor have been lost.

The driveway has a fine wrought-iron gate and frescoes with putti and flowers that were discovered in the restoration of 1997, probably by painter Paolo Sala.  Wrought-iron is probably by  [[Alessandro Mazzucotelli]].

In the entrance in front of the reception a painting of a lake with water plants has been discovered in 1997.

The body of the staircase is hexagonal, with a railing in wrought-iron and cantilever steps made of marble. In 1997 the marbled base and the flower decoration on the ceiling and the sides have been restored. The decorations follow the design of the wrought-iron and the entrance doors to the apartments..
