A walk through Milan's historical centre will take you to one of the most famous architectural structures of Europe: the «Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II» with which I close one chapter in my series recently “made in Italy”.


«Galeria Vittorio Emanuele II» is one of the most beautiful covered galleries in Europe. Began in 1865, and it was the first of it's kind to make use of an iron and glass structure.


But this architectonic beauty has a strong drama associated: in 1867, two days before King Vittorio Emanuele led the opening ceremony, Giuseppe Mengoni, the architect, fell to his death from the heights of the glass dome while scrutinizing decorative details.
