Photographer's Note

The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is the oldest shopping mall in Italy, housed within a four-storey double arcade in central Milan.[1] The Galleria is named after Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king of the Kingdom of Italy. It was originally designed in 1861 and built by Giuseppe Mengoni between 1865 and 1877.

Hello Juan,
when I visited Milan this was definitely the most beautiful place for me along the Cathedral standing next to it.And your vision and presentation of it appeals to me much.Perspective and angle you applied here capture excellently beautiful architecture of the Gaalleria and its unique glass roof.I really enjoy the upper part of the image with the view of the glass dome.
Beautiful place,isn´t it?

Have a good day
Krzysztof

Hi Juan !

Great POV, you captured the essence of that place. If not the glass roof, it could be taken for a street shot, for the beautiful ornaments on the facades give such impression. Well composed and presented!!!

hi Juan,
If only all shopping malls were as beautiful as this, I might find myself less averse to going to these places! The classical architecture of this is really wonderful, and the full glass roof fantastic. I love the POV you chose here to show off the details building with its fresco's, as well as including the glass dome and tunnel of glass. Really nice, thanks
Have a great weekend.
Noel

Hola Juan,

This gallery must be such a treat to see. There is so much lovely ornamentation. You have found a great viewpoint, creating a composition which works very well, the vaulted roof making an expanding diagonal, as it leads to the focal glass dome. It can be appreciated for its composition and details or for its splendid pattern effect.
I like it!

Have a great w/e,
Bev :-)

Hi Juan
what a great scene! who wouldn't enjoy this one!?
photographing a scene like this is every photographers dream! I'll get my chance one of these days :)
I really like the elongated 'tunnel' look as it disappears into the depths of the scene.
smart cut and compo, well done

Hi Juan
This is an excitingly awesome graphic - geometrical rendition filled with repeated patterns, strong lines. The arrangement is neat to emphasize the depth and perspective, contrasting colors add the impact. A good indoor photo so well noticed and taken, Great shot, TFS
Warm regards

Hola querido Juan

Sabía que le encantaría tener la Galleria. Como amante de la arquitectura, que no tenía más remedio que visitar :) Es una increíble pieza de arquitectura. Hay un parecido Galleria en Nápoles, la Galleria Umberto. Me encanta él diagonal Punto de vista, la perspectiva fantástica y definición impresionante. Los detalles, el color, todo es fantástico. Felicitaciones.
