Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is the oldest still active shopping mall in Italy. Its name was chosen in honor of Italy's first king, Vittorio Emanuele II di Savoia, who laid the first stone on March 7, 1865. It was designed by architect Giuseppe Mengoni. Sadly he fell off the roof and died before his work was inaugurated in 1877. The tombstone in honor of the architect stands at the entrance of the gallery.
Its dimensions are impressive: the dome is 47 meters from the ground and is 39 meters in diameter. It was one of the first in Europe to use glass for such an imposing structure.
The top paintings were made by different painters and represent four continents and diverse activities such as art, agriculture, science and industry. In the center of the gallery floor is the mosaic with the coat of arms of the Savoys royal house.
