GALLERIA VITTORIO EMANUELE II Aff ectionately known as il salotto di Milano (Milan’s living room) for its importance as a social meeting place, this arcade is one of the world’s oldest shopping malls. It was designed and built by Giuseppe Mengoni, who directed the complex construction of the iron framework and glass domes based on the historic arcades of Paris. In 1867 Vittorio Emanuele II, king of the newly united Italy, presided over the grand inauguration. In an ironic twist of fate, however, Mengoni fell to his death from the triumphal arch just one day before the galleria was completed in 1877. The architect left behind a historical legacy, as the project was carried out during the turbulent period of Italian unifi cation, and represented a new Fondazione Prada © Bas Princen era of national confi dence.
