Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Milano The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II (Italian: [ɡalleˈriːa vitˈtɔːrjo emanuˈɛːle seˈkondo]) is Italy’s oldest active shopping mall and a major landmark of Milan, Italy. Housed within a four-story double arcade in the center of town,[1] the Galleria is named after Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of the Kingdom of Italy. It was designed in 1861 and built by architect Giuseppe Mengoni between 1865 and 1867. — Wikipedia #milan #milano #architecture #italy #architecture #history via Instagram

Breakfast in Piazza della Santa Maria della Carmine. Returning to Brera today instead of heading farther afield. Tired after so much walking. Trying to keep it to 5 miles today!?!?!? #milan #milano #breakfast #food #travel #architecture via Instagram

The Last Supper Finally seeing a painting We have heard about all my life. @drrosannewelch is listening to the audio guide while I take a lot of photos to inspect and enjoy later. #milan #milano #italy #history #art #leonardodavinci #lastsupper #travel via Instagram

The Last Supper, Leonardo DaVinci, Santa Maria della Grazie, Milano Just one shot of many of this painting. It is, shall I say, miraculous that it has survived at all after being ignored, bombed and exposed to the weather. #milan #milano #italy #painting #history #leonardodavinci via Instagram

Chiesa di Santa Maria del Carmine/Saint Mary of Carmine Church 1268 Another lovely church we somewhat stumbled upon during our walk to the Brera District of Milan. #brera #milan #milano #church #architecture #building #history #historical #travel via Instagram
