About Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is a major landmark of Milan and the oldest active shopping arcade in Italy. The building is a double arcade four stories high at the heart of Milan, and it carries the name of Victor Emmanuel II, the Kingdom of Italy's first king. The design dates from 1861, and the architect Giuseppe Mengoni built it between 1865 and 1877. It links the Duomo with the Teatro alla Scala, two famous Milan landmarks, yet it counts as a landmark itself.
Two glass-vaulted arcades cross each other at an octagon, together covering the street between Piazza del Duomo and Piazza della Scala. The roof is arching glass and cast iron, and a glass dome tops the central octagon. Four barrel vaults, each approximately 14.5 m wide and 8.5 m high, meet at a dome of about 37.5 m inside diameter, 17.10 m high, and a lantern tops each part of the roof. The French firm Atelier Henry Joret made, shipped and installed the ironwork, and Saint-Gobain supplied the glass as flat ribbed plates.
The Galleria was bigger than the arcades before it and is the direct progenitor of the modern glazed, enclosed shopping mall. Many other arcades and malls borrow the term galleria because of it. Its nickname is il salotto di Milano, meaning Milan's drawing room, for its many shops and its role as a meeting and dining place. It houses shops and restaurants that rank among the oldest in Milan, among them Biffi Caffè (founded in 1867) and the Borsalino hat shop (1883).
