Galleria Vittorio Emauele, Milano

When I was in Milano at Christmas, I saw this beautiful galleria decked to the 9s.  It was a bit less hectic today, and, even without the Christmas finery, this early shopping mall is still a sight to behold.  I enjoyed it from inside and underneath the glass ceiling, but then I went hunting for a way to get outside and on top of the galleria.  Do you think I found a way?

If you said “no,” then you don’t know me very well!  I have the will and I find the way!

So, here it is from the outside, above the rooftop.

A Rolli palazzo, Genova; keeping track

Or not. You know what, dear reader?!  It is a lot of trouble to keep these posts coming within a few days of when I took the pictures!  Sometimes I get so far behind that I can’t remember anything about anything! Italy just continues to deliver wonders and I can’t keep up! Such a happy problem to have!

But, I can tell you this much: this amazing palazzo is among those listed on the “Rolli” lists in Genoa and I visited it last weekend.  Enjoy!

 

Check out the coat of arms below! You can tell you are in a seafaring town because the medallion boasts 3 fish!

This was another unique experience in that I have never seen Dutch style tiles in an Italian extravagant interior.  Live and see!
