Although 17March 1861 is the symbolic date(this year, because it is a specialanniversary 17 March wi l be anational holiday so be sure to findout about the openings of shopsand public offices), the process ofunification took several decades. Thisperiod, known by the Italians as the“Risorgimento,” was marked by battlesfor independence and the laboriousconstruction of a national identity.Milan was always in the front line. Acity of inte lectuals and patriots, todayit sti l preserves various traces of itshistory. You can bet that during thecelebrations this historical evidencewi l not go unnoticed. For those whoare interested in history, the rightplace to learn more about this periodis the Museo del Risorgimento(see The Guide–Museums), whichhouses the first glorious Italian flag.Other traces of history also can befound in innumerable places in thecity: piazza Cinque Giornate, currentlydominated by a huge, multi-levelshopping center, was namedin honor of the five-day fight forindependence that took place in thatarea in 1848. And every street, piazza,and park dedicated to Garibaldi,Mazzini, Cattaneo, Cavour, and theroyal family of Savoy is named toremind us of these leaders of themovement for Italian independence.The area of the city most closelyassociated with the birth of thenation, however, is the world-renowned GalleriaVittorio Emanuele II, origina ly built to commemoratethis historic moment and dedicated to the first king ofItaly. One of the oldest trade centers in the world, it hasbeen a favorite haunt since it was built of both Milaneseand tourists, who navigate it each day to access piazzadel Duomo or the Teatro a la Scala. Home to luxuriousboutiques, bookstores, and historic cafés, it incarnates a lthe appeal of one of the world capitals of style.• Designed by the architect Giuseppe Mengoni, the Ga leria was built in justtwo years (1865-1867) at the height of the Italian Risorgimento. Its solemninaugural ceremony was attended by the then king of Italy, Vittorio EmanueleI, who was seated on a throne and surrounded by a number of celebrities.• A masterpiece of eclectic architecture, the Ga leria is covered by anextraordinary iron and glass dome. Its center – the so-ca led “Ottagono” – issurmounted by imposing mosaics representing the four parts of the world,Europe, America, Asia and Africa, symbols of the international opening of thecity. Its decorations also include portrayals of “Attività Umane” and 24 statuesof outstanding Italians, including Leonardo da Vinci (so deeply loved by theMilanese that a second statue was also erected in his honor in piazza de laScala), Michelangelo Buonarroti, Galileo Galilei, and Christopher Columbus.• The luminous crystal roof, which encloses the Ga leria like the cover of atreasure trove, is one of its most beautiful ha lmark features. Majestic but notshatterproof, at least when it was origina ly built, the roof of the Ga leria hasbeen shattered as many as three times, twice in 1872 and in 1874 by twoterrible hailstorms and the third time during the bombings of the SecondWorld War in 1943.• Today the large dome that rises above the “Ottagono” creates anunmistakable atmosphere that has been celebrated by artists and writerswho have passed through this magnificent arcade over the past century. Itsbars and historic cafés - Zucca, Savini and Biffi – have hosted exponents ofthe Milanese Scapigliatura and celebrities such as Filippo Tommaso Marinetti,Gabriele D’Annunzio, Giuseppe Verdi, Arturo Toscanini, and UmbertoBoccioni. The latter depicted café Campari (now known as Zucca), where thefamous Bitter Campari was invented, in his painting, Rissa in Ga leria.• The Ga leria sti l represents a focal meeting point for the famous Milaneseaperitivo ritual and is often animated by musical performances andinsta lations. Over the past few years, in addition to the historic cafés, anumber of elegant, eclectic restaurants have also been added, including,for example, the renowned Ga leria restaurant, whose kitchen stays openthroughout the day.
