Casa Rustici, Rationalist residential complex in Milan, Italy.

Casa Rustici consists of two parallel blocks connected by suspended walkways, creating a distinctive grid pattern on the main facade along Corso Sempione.

Architects Pietro Lingeri and Giuseppe Terragni completed the construction of this residential building between 1934 and 1936 during Milan's modernization period.

The building exemplifies Italian Rationalist architecture through its geometric design, functional layout, and combination of salmon-colored Duralbo plaster with white Lasa marble.

Multiple tram and bus lines, including numbers 1, 19, 33, 57, and 61, provide direct access to this residential complex in central Milan.

The structure earned the nickname 'the blackbird cage' due to its innovative system of suspended walkways that connect the two main building blocks.
