Galleria Umberto I

Muchos napolitanos ni la tienen en cuenta, para ellos en un edificio más, una copia de las Galerias de Vittorio Emanuele II que simplemente están ahí como formando parte interna de un edificio por el que obligatoriamente no hay que pasar y por una calle por la que obligatoriamente no hay que pasar. Así que a excepción de algunas guías que la nombrar por el aire, cogida con pinzas y más bien como monumento arquitectónico, no es un punto de visita frecuente. Pero he aquí que cuando se callejea lo suficiente es cuando mejor panorama se tiene de la ciudad y cuando descubres joyitas como ella. Es verdad que por fuera nada diferencia el edificio de cualquier viejo palazzo de los que abundan en el Nápoles más elitista, esos que se han ido convirtiendo en apartamentos. Pero una vez que entras en la galería, descubres que otro mundo se esconde en el interior. Un mundo mas sobrio, pero al tiempo luminoso, de delicados techos de acero y cristal y suelos de mosaico y mármol que esconden un hotel, el Art Resort de exquisita decoración, la sede central del Banco de Nápoles o joyerias del más alto nivel. Irónico, en un barrio, el de Santa Brígida que en el siglo XVIII alcanzó los más altos niveles de delincuencia, prostitución e insalubridad, con 9 epidemias de cólera y asesinatos y robos en cada esquina. Afortunadamente toda la mala semilla fue destruida y hoy podemos disfrutar de este precioso espacio, para mí único.

Many Neapolitans or have in mind for them in another building, a copy of the Vittorio Emanuele II Gallery are simply there as internal part of a building which does not necessarily have to go and for a street that not necessarily have to go. So except for some guidelines that name through the air, caught with tweezers and more like architectural monument, it is a point to visit frequently. But now when enough loiter best scenario is when you have the city and when you discover gems like her. It is true that nothing outside the building unlike any old palazzo that abound in Naples most elite, those who have been converted into apartments. But once you enter the gallery, you find that another world is hidden inside. A more sober world, but while bright, delicate steel and glass ceilings and mosaic floors and marble hiding a hotel, the Art Resort tastefully decorated, the headquarters of the Bank of Naples or jewelers of the highest level. Ironically, in a neighborhood, the St. Bridget that in the eighteenth century reached the highest levels of crime, prostitution and unsanitary, with 9 epidemics of cholera and murders and robberies in each corner. Fortunately all the bad seed was destroyed and today we can enjoy this beautiful space, for me only.

Galleria Umberto, son nom déjà fait fantasmer et que dire des magnifiques boutiques que l'on va y trouver... Ce centre commercial pour le moins original n'est pas seulement réputé pour ses magasins et petits cafés et il ne mérite pas seulement la visite des accros du shopping. L'endroit en lui-même et son style architectural ont aussi leur mot à dire. C'est qu'on ne fait pas tous les jours des galeries marchandes de style Renaissance, à moins de vivre à Naples. Ce qui est certain c'est que ça nous change des bâtiments étouffants, sans âme, bourrés de je ne sais combien d'escalators. Et peu importe qu'elle ait été construite en 1890 afin de rénover et d'assainir l'ancien quartier Santa Brigida à la suite d'une violente épidémie de choléra. Ca ne rend que plus grandiose l'immense et impressionnante verrière qui survole l'ensemble en laissant filtrer les rayons du soleil. La coupole centrale atteint 57 mètres de haut et au sol c'est une mosaïque géante du zodiaque qui lui fait face. La galerie se divise en quatre ailes suivant les quatre points cardinaux : Que de symboles... Quant aux bâtiments qui la composent, ils rivalisent de splendeur. Le tout est un lieu agréable, apprécié de tous, et vous l'aurez compris, pas uniquement pour faire du lèche vitrine !

Galleria Umberto, his name already fantasize and say wonderful shops that we will find ... This mall for less original is not only known for its small shops and cafes and it not only worth a visit for shopaholics. The place itself and its architectural style also have their say. Is that there is no daily malls Renaissance, unless you live in Naples. What is certain is that it changes us sweltering buildings, soulless, filled with umpteen escalators. And whatever it was built in 1890 to renovate and clean up the old Santa Brigida quarter after a violent outbreak of cholera. It makes it all the more grandiose and impressive huge canopy which flies all by leaking sunlight. The central dome is 57 meters high and the ground is a giant mosaic of the zodiac in front of it. The gallery is divided into four wings according to the four cardinal points: What symbols ... For buildings that compose it, they compete in splendor. The whole is a nice place, enjoyed by all, and you will understand, not only for window shopping!

Stavo passeggiando senza meta per il centro di Napoli, quando d'improvviso mi si parò innanzi questa monumentale galleria.. Una vera opera d'arte da lasciare senza fiato! Le dimensioni dell'edificio sono mastodontiche e fanno veramente una grande impressione, specialmente se ci venite di sera quando è mezza deserta. Sembrava di stare in una cattedrale. La galleria venne inaugurata nel 1890 e da allora lascia tutti i visitatori con il naso all'insù.

I was walking aimlessly through the center of Naples, when I suddenly loomed up before this monumental gallery .. A true work of art will leave you breathless! The dimensions of the building are bloated and really make a big impression, especially if you come in the evening when it is half empty. It was like being in a cathedral. The gallery was opened in 1890 and since then leaves all the visitors with the nose.

LA GALLERIA UMBERTO I, ME PARECIO EXTRAORDINARIA.... NO PUEDES DEJAR DE OBSERVAR CADA DETALLE... E UNA BELLA GALLERIA.... ZOLI YANIN . MEXICO

Galería Umberto I , ubicado entre la Vía Toledo y la Plaza del Plebisticeo. Tiene cuatro entradas lo malo es que ahora está en obras y no se percibe la magnitud del edificio. Dentro hay tiendas y cafeterías con terrazas muy agradables.

Galera Umberto I, Va located between Toledo and Plebisticeo Square. It has four inputs bad thing is that now is under construction and not the size of the building is perceived. In coffee shops and very nice terraces.

El interior de esta Galería Comercial de finales del Siglo XIX es una maravilla arquitectónica acabada en una enorme cúpula de cristal con estructura de hierro, que merece la pena la visita.

The interior of the shopping center in the late nineteenth century is an architectural marvel finished in a huge glass dome with iron structure, which is worth the visit.

Qué recuerdos de Milán! Desde luego y como verás en las fotos, esta se merece otra visita. No tardas nada en verla y quedarás impresionado. Visita imprescindible en Nápoles!

What memories of Milan! Since then, and as you will see in the photos, this is worth another visit. It does not take anything to see it and be impressed. Essential visit in Naples!

Lleno de muchas tiendas y muchas cafeterías y que es muy agradable pasar un buen rato observando el ambiente de esta gran ciudad y que particularmente me gustó ya que tiene ese aire tan Mediterráneo que tanto me gusta.

A place that I advise to visit, full of many shops and many cafes and it is very pleasant to spend a good time observing the atmosphere of this great city and I particularly liked it since it has such Mediterranean air that I so much like.

Es una galería que parece un palacio, aunque en obras merece la pena entrar y ponerte en el centro de la galería para ver el suelo con los signos del zodiaco representados sus cúpula de cristal y sus grabados en las paredes.

it is a gallery that looks like a palace, although in works it is worth entering and putting yourself in the center of the gallery to see the floor with the signs of the zodiac represented its glass dome and its engravings on the walls

En pleno centro de Nápoles se encuentran algunas tiendas y pequeño hotel, sin duda una bonita visita.

Beautiful gallery in the center of Naples are some shops and small hotel without a doubt a nice visit

Luogo iconico dell'eccellenza partenopea, simbolo di eleganza e prestigio della bella Napoli, quella del centro storico, fatta di vie popolate costantemente da turisti e residenti. Divisa dai caratteristici quartieri spagnoli dalla sola via Toledo, poco lontana dalla famosa fermata della Metropolitana omonima (tra le più belle d'Europa, a quanto pare), è tra le più importanti testimonianze architettoniche del periodo savoiardo in Italia e a Napoli, tanto cara ai re d'Italia. Incantevole nel periodo natalizio, è sede di negozi d'abbigliamento, uffici e bar/ristoranti tra i più famosi di Napoli. Adatta anche per una piacevolissima colazione in compagnia di amici o per una pausa dallo shopping.

An iconic place of Neapolitan excellence, symbol of elegance and prestige of the beautiful Naples, that of the historical center, made of streets constantly populated by tourists and residents. Divided by the typical Spanish Quarters from the only via Toledo, not far from the famous metro stop of the same name (among the most beautiful in Europe, apparently), is among the most important architectural evidence of the Savoyard period in Italy and Naples, so dear to king of Italy. Enchanting during the Christmas period, it is home to clothing stores, offices and bars / restaurants among the most famous in Naples. Also suitable for a pleasant breakfast with friends or for a break from shopping. Absolutely to visit.

Forse esteticamente potrà sembrare uguale, ma non è affatto così. Sicuramente la forma e l'idea è stata la stessa, ma vennero usati due tecniche diverse per il soffitto. In questa il vetro si trova sotto la struttura in ferro, viceversa accade in quella di Milano. Inoltre nella galleria Umberto I abbiamo la "Sfogliatella Mary" è una delle più buone di Napoli. Quindi se entrate nella galleria vi consiglio di fermarvi a comprare una sfogliatella e di mangiarla mentre ammirate la bellezza della galleria.

"But it"s the same as in Milan" okay no! Maybe aesthetically it may look the same, but it"s not like that. Surely the shape and the idea were the same, but two different techniques for the ceiling were used. In this the glass is under the iron structure, in the case of the one in Milan. Also in the gallery Umberto I we have the "Sfogliatella Mary" is one of the best in Naples. So if you go into the gallery I recommend you stop by buying a sfogliatella and eating it while admiring the beauty of the gallery.

La galleria nel cuore di Napoli ti affascinata appena entrerai. I tetti altissimi e le vetrate danno una luce magnifica all'ambiente e se hai la fortuna di incontrare qualche che ti spieghi come esprimere un desiderio al centro della galleria dove è raffigurato lo zodiaco, non farti scappare l'occasione.

magnificent, majestic and with 1000 particularity. the gallery in the heart of Naples you will enter just fascinated. the high ceilings and windows give a magnificent environment light and if you are lucky enough to meet some me explain how to make a wish at the center of the gallery which depicted the zodiac not Miss Out
