A
Galleria Umberto I
Doppelganger of Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, the trick to appreciating this mammoth glass-and-steel masterpiece is to walk with your head tilted up: its grand central dome soars to a lofty 56 metres. The mysterious stars of David imbedded in the glasswork are said to suggest local Jewish investment in the building. Complete with a sumptuous marble floor, the Galleria makes a surreal setting for impromptu late-night soccer games.

Galleria Principe di Napoli
Naples' oldest shopping arcade has seen better days. Now abandoned, it was designed by Nicola Briglia and built between 1876 and 1883. Its soaring neoclassical look is almost identical to that of its younger, better-loved sibling Galleria Umberto I, located at the lower end of Via Toledo.
