The Sky In Naples
It was in the afternoon, and when I was wandering around the Galleria Umberto I in Naples I was impressed by the sheer space and ambiance of the interior of the arcade, the sunlight through the beautiful dome, and the exquisite architecture all around it. I took the opportunity of having a real cup of Cappuccino at one of the cafes in the mall, while watching people with shopping bags leisurely walking by, tourists taking photographs and other people taking gelatos at the ice cream parlor.

Galleria Umberto I is a public shopping gallery in Naples, South Italy. It was built between 1887–1891, and was the cornerstone in the decades-long rebuilding of Naples — called the risanamento (lit. "making healthy again") — that lasted until World War I. It was designed by Emanuele Rocco, who employed modern architectural elements reminiscent of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan. The Galleria was named for Umberto I, King of Italy at the time of construction. [Extract from Wikipedia]
