As lojas de luxo certificam que as Galerias continuam a ser um dos lugares mais privilegiados da cidade para fazer compras, uma pena eu não ter uma carteira para acompanhar mas é verdade que um simples passeio por elas já me faz viajar no tempo e imaginar que estou no final do século XIX sentada na esplanada do Café Biffi a beber um chá depois de uma tarde de compras.
Foi inaugurada a 1867 mas a obra não estava completa, apenas dez anos mais tarde terminou com a trágica morte do seu criador Giuseppe Mengoni que terá caído do topo do arco triunfal.
Luxury shopping make sure that the Galleries remains one of the most priviledged places in the city for shopping, a pity I do not have a wallet to keep up with it but it is true that a simple walk through them makes me travel back in time and imagine that I am in the late nineteenth century sitting on the terrace of the Café Biffi drinking a tea after an afternoon of shopping.
It was inaugurated in 1867 but the work was not complete, only ten years later ended with the tragic death of its creator Giuseppe Mengoni that fell from the top of the triumphal arch.

Tornou-se rápidamente num lugar de convivio para os habitantes da cidade, um ponto de encontro para a sua vida social com lojas e cafés. Construída em forma de cruz tem ao centro uma cúpula de cristal, podemos chegar desde a Piazza del Duomo até a della Scala sem apanhar um pingo de chuva e ainda apreciar as montras.
Foi inspirada em galerías de Paris que surgiam na cidade francesa pela mesma altura mas nenhuma com a grandiosidade da Galeria Vittorio Emanuele II que viu o próprio rei a lançar a primeira pedra e que servem ainda hoje de inspiração para outras construções semelhantes.
No chão podemos ver os brasões de outras cidade italianas importantes como Roma por exemplo, reza a lenda que no de Milão onde figura um touro se deve dar uma volta porque dá sorte.
Quickly became a place of socializing for the locals, a meeting place for your social life with shops and cafes. Built in the shape of a cross at the center it has a dome crystal, we can get from the Piazza del Duomo to the della Scala without catching a raindrop and still enjoy some window shopping.
It was inspired by galleries of Paris that emerged in the French town around the same time but none with the grandeur of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, which saw the king himself cast the first stone and they still serve as inspiration for other similar buildings.
On the floor we can see the coats of other major Italian city like Rome for example, legend has it that in Milan one there is a bull figure that one should spin around for luck.
