Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

Named after Vittorio Emanuele II

…the shopping mall consist of two- glass vaulted ceilings-







…covered with glass arches and cast iron roof.









It connects the Piazza del Doumo


...and the Piazza della Scala.



The Galleria is famous for being home to
some of the oldest shops and restaurants,




…and luxury haute couture retailers.




It is breathtakingly beautiful ancient mall,




…that none of the modern shopping
malls built this century would top.


The Galleria is nicknamed 
“Il salotto di Milano”



…or Milan's drawing room,


…as it is an important Milanese
meeting and dining destination.
