We read all kinds of signs, and we enjoyed two signs that guarded the courtyard/street of an apartment complex (off via Imperia) in our Piazza Bologna neighborhood (above). We would guess that the complex dates to about 1950. Although anyone could walk unimpeded into the courtyard/street (via della Brianza), two signs, one on the right of the entrance, and one on the left, may give pause.
The sign on the right, of older vintage, reads: "Access is prohibited for those who don't have the right [to do so]." It's not clear what "right" that is, though the sign is apparently based on a section of the legal code, noted on the sign.
The sign on the left, perhaps more recently posted but probably decades ago, reads: "Via della Brianza (Private Property) Entrance is prohibited to vehicles of strangers [estranei]." You have to like that word "strangers." Also, driving in would be difficult, given that there are potted plants in the way.

PS - We've lived in the Piazza Bologna area - in many different parts of it - 6 or more times. This part was new to us last year. It's not far from the Policlinico Metro stop.
