Galleria Umberto I
Lonely Planet review for Galleria Umberto I
Paging Milan’s Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, Naples’ most famous 19th century arcade is a breathtaking pairing of richly adorned neo-Renaissance fronts and a delicate glass ceiling capped by a lofty, 56m dome. The mysterious stars of David imbedded in the glasswork reputedly attest to local Jewish investment in the structure. Complete with a sumptuous marble floor, the galleria is at its most spectacular at night, when it becomes a surreal setting for impromptu soccer games.
