VIRTUALLY Strolling by La Scala... the statue of Leonardo da Vinci...Interior shot of La Scala via Google image (all the rest of the Milano photos are take by moi from 1992 trip to Milan)...Statue is a monument to Victor Emmanuel II in Piazza del Duomo...The top of the magnifique Duomo...and the bottom of the Duomo... the interior of this cathedral is AMAZING... it is one of the most BEAUTIFUL places I have ever seen... it was HEAVENLY inside!!! I wish I had photos... le sigh!All this walking... time for a little wine and some pasta prepared right in front of us in a restaurant in the Galleria...The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II (info via Wikipedia) is a covered double arcade formed of two glass-vaulted arcades at right angles intersecting in an octagon; it is prominently sited on the northern side of the Piazza del Duomo in Milan, and connects to the Piazza della Scala. Named after Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king of united Italy, it was originally designed in 1861 and built by Giuseppe Mengoni between 1865 and 1877...
