Dear Bruno,

"The Ca'Brütta, the Ugly House, is seen as a symbol of the dividing line between eclecticism and the modern, for its freedom in the use of plaster and simplification of the façade. It was also the first example in Italy of the splitting of a city block, creating a private road open to the public" (Giovanni Tomaso Muoio)

Dear Luigi,

Giovanni Muzio was the architect who designed the
best-known work of the Novecento movement, the
Ca'Brütta ("Ugly House") in Milan. This however is a
picture of his nuove aule in the Universite Cattolica, a
work that took Muzio 20 years to complete.

Regards.
