Galleria Vittorio Emanuel II

Italy2The "Galleria",was a public building now used for events. Large plaster eagles support its  impressive dome, 47m high and made of iron and corrugated glass. The floor of the octagon was completely restored in 1966 in rare marble mosaic showing the emblems of Italian cities. The art nouveau Bar Zucca facing the Piazza Duomo is the traditional stop for an aperitif and some rest!
