Chapter 526 - Fashion and Art Are Inseparable!
How close is the Promenade Emanuele II to the Duomo di Milano?
It's actually very simple, walk out of the Duomo of Milan, walk to the edge of the square of the Duomo of Milan, and look back, to the left of the Duomo of Milan is the Galleria Emanuele II.
It is estimated that it is about 100 meters away!
Maybe it's not that far yet!
Walking into the south gate of the Emanuele II Corridor, Zhao Xue and Su Yanfei, two girls, picked up their mobile phones very tacitly and fell into a crazy selfie!
Zhao Feng, on the other hand, looked around and found that not far away there was an introduction to the Emanuele II Corridor written in Italian and English!
There are also quite a few tourists around looking to take pictures and watch!
Zhao Feng walked over slowly and glanced at it roughly!
Compared to the Duomo of Milan, the Galleria Emanuele II is also a historical building, but it was built relatively late and has been in operation all along, so there are no guided tours!
If there's anything you want to know, you can find a staff member at any of the stores!
And this introduction is also to give visitors a general idea of the Emanuele II Corridor!
...
Built in 1865, the Galleria Emanuele II has a cross-shaped structure, 198 meters long from north to south and 105 meters long from east to west, with a stained glass roof of a steel frame.
The Cross Promenade has 4 exits, the north exit is near La Scala, the south exit is in Piazza del Duomo, the west exit leads to Cordusio, and the east exit is near the Ferrari souvenir shop and restaurant.
So if you have enough time, you can take a tour from the Milan Cathedral - Galleria Emanuele II - La Scala Theater.
Of course, there are still some shows at La Scala, so if you want to see a show, you can buy a ticket!
。。。
Today, the Emanuele II Promenade is an important shopping mecca in Milan, and even if the shops in it are often out of stock, it can't stop the strong purchasing team of kelp customers.
The interior of the promenade is filled with fashion stores, cafés, restaurants and bookstores, as well as luxury brands such as LV, Versace, Prada, Gucci and Armani.
In addition, the seven-star hotel Townhouse Galleria is also located in the promenade and costs about 500 euros for a double room.
This hotel is not ordinary!
You know, there are not many seven-star hotels in the world, but among these hotels, although the Burj Al Arab in Dubai is a self-proclaimed seven-star hotel, this Townhouse Galleria is the first seven-star hotel in the world to be rated by the Swiss Rating Company (SGS)!
The TownHouse Galleria is equipped with the latest technology, and you can even watch a 42-inch broadband LCD TV while taking a shower in the bathroom.
Rates start at 800 euros and go up to 4,000 euros for a night.
Seeing this price, Zhao Feng inexplicably had an urge to experience it!
The price of 4,000 euros is close to 32,000 yuan in RMB.
。。。
Zhao Feng finished reading the introduction and looked back, Zhao Xue and Su Yanfei were still taking pictures!
Immediately, I couldn't help but turn around and go back, pulling the two of them towards the inside!
The Promenade Emanuele II is a shopping mecca!
Walking along the passageway, there are almost all the shops of international brands on both sides!
The constant flow of tourists coming and going from the shops is overwhelming!
Passing by the Armani and LV shops, the group also entered a simple stroll!
In Armani's shop, Zhao Feng picked out a suit!
And Su Yanfei and Zhao Xue, the two girls, didn't catch up, and their favorite perfumes and cosmetics were sold out!
In LV's store, Zhao Feng looked at Zhao Xue, Su Yanfei, He Jun, and Gerris!
smiled and said: "You all choose at will, see if you have anything you like, today's consumption will be paid by Ben Gongzi!"
As soon as Zhao Xue and Su Yanfei heard Zhao Feng say this, the bags and everything that the two pairs of big eyes looked at were about to run out!
As for He Jun and Garys, they were unmoved!
Zhao Xue and Su Yanfei picked for a long time, and each of them chose a bag!
The two of them also compared the prices at home and abroad!
There is no doubt that there is still some price difference at home and abroad, just like the bags that the two women choose now, the price here is about 2,500 euros, but the domestic price can reach 4,78 euros, which is close to 40,000 yuan!
This time it's nearly half!
In this regard, Zhao Feng directly swiped the card with a big hand!
He Jun and Gerris, Zhao Feng also asked Zhao Xue and Su Yanfei to choose a good belt for them!
As for the rest, Zhao Feng took a look!
Maybe it's because I came late today, and the things in the store look very complete, so Zhao Feng thought about it, and was ready to see if other brands had more suitable gifts!
Out of LV's brand store!
From the right-hand entrance of the bookstore in the center of the promenade to the basement level, you can see a large musical instrument shop that sells high-quality CDs and vinyl records, which is loved by many literary and artistic young people who like to collect records.
When Zhao Feng, Su Yanfei, Zhao Xue and his party walked here, they found that there were really two stupid little brothers playing with musical instruments on their mobile phones, and there were a circle of tourists around!
The playing of the two Italian brothers is still quite good!
It's a great thing to listen to!
The mood is also unconsciously cheerful.
。。。
In fact, Zhao Feng felt that the Emanuele II Corridor was like a palace, but it replaced awe with enthusiasm.
After all, there are many international luxury brands here, but it's a good place to chop your hands.
It is worth mentioning that because Milan is the birthplace of Prada, Versace, Armani, MoschinoDG and so on, Italian designers are also full of dedication to artistic design.
Like this Emanuele II Corridor, there are more interesting things to do with Zhao Feng!
The previous renovation of the Emanuele II Corridor was financed by Prada, and Zhao Feng is now Prada's majority shareholder!
As for the reason for Prada's renovation, it is also very simple, Prada's first store was opened in the Nichi Gallery.
In the past, Prada and Gucci have been competing for the position of the leader of Italian luxury brands, and it is not until the past few years that Gucci's performance has far surpassed Prada.
The brand likes to sponsor art projects, such as Fendi's contract for the restoration of the Trevi Fountain (Trevi Fountain) in Rome, and Gucci's support for the restoration of the Italian epic film "The Leopard".
These, in fact, are also a kind of competition with each other!
After all, fashion and art are inseparable.
The Emanuele II Promenade is definitely the hottest shopping atmosphere, but since it's the brand's flagship store, it's still painful for most visitors to buy the latest limited edition (not discounted).
But for Zhao Feng, this is all trivial!
Don't panic at all!
As the closest viewpoint in the city center to the Duomo of Milan, the top of the Galleria Emanuele II closes late, so you can wait until sunset to reach the top and stroll through the top of the promenade to get a taste of Milan at night!
To be honest, Zhao Feng was quite excited!
However, it's time to check out if there are any gifts in other brand stores that are suitable for bringing back home!
