bejewelled

Milan, Italy
Shooting up into the dome of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II during a recent trip to Milan over the Thanksgiving holiday, I was reminded of a glittering kaleidoscope. Built between 1865 and 1871, it is a classic double vaulted arcade classic of the time. The Galleria serves as an impressive connector between the Piazza del Duomo and Piazza della Scala. This is NOT shopping at the local mall!
