The floor of the Galleria in Milan

The floor of the Galleria in Milan.
To tell the truth, the coat of arms depicted in the center of the gallery is not the coat of arms of Milan but that of the Savoy family.
Then, on the side, in a high mosaic, there is also the coat of arms of the city and the more famous mosaic of the bull (the one whose balls are crushed to bring good luck).
One of the many photos I took last November in the city of Milan.

Here is where the famous Gallery and its floor are located:

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is a shopping arcade in Milan that, in the form of a covered pedestrian street, connects Piazza Duomo to Piazza della Scala. Due to the presence of elegant shops and clubs, since its inauguration it has been a meeting place for the Milanese bourgeoisie, so much so that it has been nicknamed the “drawing room of Milan”.

The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan

La Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II di Milano

The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan.
The symbol of the city of Milan is the Duomo and the Madonnina but the Galleria is also one of the most famous places.
Some time ago I had to go on an errand in the Lombard city and what better opportunity to take some photos?
This is one of the symbols of luxury shopping: famous brands of clothes and more abound in this place that has become a fundamental stop for elite tourism.
Moreover, despite being a couple of hours away by train, I must admit that I am not a great expert.
I hope to fill this gap one day.

Chiesa di San Satiro a Milano

Chiesa di San Satiro a Milano.
Vicino a piazza del Duomo c’è questa bella chiesetta che nasconde un segreto impressionante.
Impressionante poiché è una illusione ottica, creata dal genio artistico del Bramante, che con l’uso della prospettiva rende la chiesa molto più profonda di quanto non sia in realtà.
Non voglio scopiazzare in giro dalla rete, se volete approfondire o andate a visitare la chiesa oppure leggete su internet di cosa si tratta.

Here is where the church is located:

One of the main obstacles to the creation of a monumental structure was the lack of space for the choir, since the space behind the transept was occupied by the Contrada del Falcone. The problem was brilliantly solved by Bramante through the creation of reliefs and moldings in terracotta that were subsequently painted to form a perspective escape that simulated in 97 centimeters of depth a space equal to the arms of the 9.7 meter transept inspired by the previous studies of the Prevedari Engraving, becoming the strong point of the building.

The Cathedral Square in Milan

The Piazza del Duomo in Milan.
This is the most famous square in the city of Milan. A half day in the city.
Obviously, and to tell the truth I didn't even have one on the site, I photographed the most famous square with the cathedral in the background, the statue of Vittorio Emanuele II and the gallery (also dedicated to Vittorio Emanuele II) on the left.
Milan is always a great Milan!

Here's where the town is located:

Founded around 590 BC, perhaps with the name of Medhelan, near a sanctuary by a Celtic tribe belonging to the Insubres group and belonging to the Golasecca culture, it was conquered by the ancient Romans in 222 BC and later renamed Mediolanum by them. Over the centuries it increased its importance until it became the capital of the Western Roman Empire, during which period the Edict of Milan was promulgated, which granted all citizens, therefore also Christians, the freedom to honor their own deities.
