La Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II di Milano fu costruita dal 1865 al 1878 su progetto di Giuseppe Mengoni. E' un notevole esempio dell'architettura eclettica della seconda metà dell'Ottocento milanese, sia per le scelte tecnico-costruttive, sia per le sue notevoli dimensioni. Nella prima metà del XIX secolo, la città di Milano, che assumeva lo status di principale città industriale della penisola, traeva ispirazione alla urbanizzazione dalle grandi capitali europee, come Londra e Parigi, sede di quelle innovazioni tecnologiche che costituivano il simbolo della seconda rivoluzione industriale e, di conseguenza, del grande cambiamento sociale che si era messo in moto. Fu nel 1859 che, nella città, sorse l'idea di un passaggio coperto che collegasse Piazza Duomo a Piazza della Scala: simile alla Galleria de Cristoforis, sempre a Milano a San Babila, ma più grande e più borghese, da dedicare magari al re che portò Milano ad unificarsi al Regno d'Italia. Il progetto di Giuseppe Mengoni si aggiudicò la vittoria del concorso internazionale indetto dal comune di Milano, cui parteciparono 176 architetti. La Galleria è strutturata con un impianto a forma di croce (lunga 196m in direzione nord-sud, 105,5m in direzione est-ovest, larga 14,5 ed alta21) e l'ottagono che si forma all'incrocio dei bracci è coperto da un'ardita cupola in vetro e ferro che raggiunge i 47m di altezza e che, per la sua tecnica moderna e per la sua originalità, è da mettere in relazione con le altre strutture simili create nello stesso periodo a Londra e Parigi. Alzando lo sguardo da sotto la Cupola, l'attenzione è focalizzata da quattro mosaici a forma di mezzaluna che raffigurano, in allegoria, quattro parti del mondo, Europa, Africa, Asia e America.
