Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II er Italiens ældste aktive shoppinggalleri og et vigtigt landemærke i Milano. Galleriet er opkaldt efter Victor Emanuel 2. af Italien, den første konge af Kongeriget Italien. Det er beliggende i midten af Milano^[1] og forbinder to af Milanos mest berømte landemærker: Milanos Duomo og Teatro alla Scala.

Det består af to gader overdækket med et imponerende hvælvet glasloft der krydser under en enorm glaskuppel. Galleriet blev tegnet i 1861 og bygget af arkitekten Giuseppe Mengoni mellem 1865 og 1877.
