โ€ƒโ€ƒ"This is the commercial center of Milan, built by Giuseppe Mengoni between 1865 and 1877, and the promenade takes its name from the first king after the unification of Italy, Emanuele II, which is a must-visit when visiting Milan, Italy. โ€

โ€ƒโ€ƒQu Lihua looked up and was shocked by this corridor, "Wow, it's so beautiful!"

โ€ƒโ€ƒThe gallery is cross-shaped, with an arched roof and a stained glass canopy on the top, with the entrance to Piazza Duomo Milano on the left and the Duomo Cathedral on the right.

โ€ƒโ€ƒMilan Cathedral, Captain Xia didn't come to the church, he had seen a lot of churches before, Oliver said to visit Emanuele II Square, just by the way to visit the Milan Cathedral.

โ€ƒโ€ƒThe Duomo of Milan is very majestic, with white as the main color, and it is very characteristic that the double row of pointed roofs is used as the main decoration, towering around the church, making the church look solemn and elegant.

โ€ƒโ€ƒXia Yuxiang stood in front of the Milan Cathedral and was also very emotional, "Milan is an important economic center of Italy, and the location of the cathedral to build here also shows the importance of Milan, the cradle of art and the hometown of many geniuses, and the hometown of a unique Italian way of working and lifestyle." โ€

โ€ƒโ€ƒQu Lihua nodded, "In the past few days, Head Xia has led us to visit many Italian attractions and admired the works of many art masters, which left a deep impression on me, especially during the Renaissance, famous humanists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and other representatives, which made the art, science and technology here develop rapidly, and Milan has become an important art center." โ€

โ€ƒโ€ƒOliver said: "Yes, I think the Chinese audience is familiar with Paris, France, Rome, Italy, but they know that Milan is the fashion capital, and they don't know Milan very well, I think this is a rare opportunity, I am honored to introduce Milan, so that more Chinese audiences can get familiar with this metropolis." โ€

โ€ƒโ€ƒ"Milan occupies an important position in the development of the Italian economy, with rapid industrial development, and together with Turin and Genoa, it forms an industrial triangle and drives the economic development of the whole country. โ€

โ€ƒโ€ƒ"In the past few days, I have taken you to visit the works of some literary masters in Milan, including sculptures, paintings, operas, cathedrals, palaces of fine arts, castles, ancient bridges, Italian food, Italian wine, Venice, Florence, Milan and other cities. โ€

โ€ƒโ€ƒ"We have introduced a lot of the Italian Renaissance before, in addition to these, Milan is also a modern metropolis, Milan has a complete range of industries, including automobiles, airplanes, motorcycles, electrical appliances, railway equipment, metal manufacturing, textiles and garments, chemicals, medicine, food, etc., commerce, financial industry is also very developed, is the most important financial center in Italy. โ€

โ€ƒโ€ƒ"Napoleon held the coronation ceremony in the Duomo of Milan, this cathedral is the spiritual symbol and symbol of Milan, and it is also a miracle in the history of world architecture and world civilization.

โ€ƒโ€ƒIt is characterized by pointed arches, pilasters, flowered window lattices, hundreds of minarets, like dense Tallinn piercing the sky, and there are statues of gods on each spire, especially the statue of the Virgin Mary on the top of the main tower, which looks brilliant in the sun, magical and magnificent.

โ€ƒโ€ƒ"Wow, it's so beautiful, I'm going to take more photos to take back as a souvenir!" Qu Lihua raised her phone to take a picture.

โ€ƒโ€ƒThe area around the Galleria Emanuele II is a showcase for Italian fashion, where luxury and fashion-loving people from all over the world gather, and there are luxury stores around it.

โ€ƒโ€ƒOliver said: "The shops here are constantly updated with new products, if you like luxury goods, it's also good to come here to buy, other stores don't have new products, there are already here, we are at the forefront of fashion, we hold fashion shows several times a year, and we have become a representative and showcase of Italian fashion." โ€

โ€ƒโ€ƒQu Lihua looked up, pointed to the arcade and excitedly let everyone see, she asked Oliver curiously: "The arcade is very chic, there are exquisite carvings on it, and there are many beautiful carvings, when was such an arcade popular?"

โ€ƒโ€ƒOliver also looked up and smiled slightly, "Arcade street design became popular in Europe in the 19th century, Italy is very good at sculpture, I took you to Rome to visit before, I also saw this kind of Gothic building, with carved lace, this exquisite decoration can make the whole building look solemn and elegant, but also with Italian romance and chic." โ€

โ€ƒโ€ƒ"Milan has inherited the essence of the Renaissance, and the architecture is as refined as painting, which requires the meticulous work of designers and craftsmen, and it is not easy to complete these fine carvings, which take a lot of painstaking work, and the interior of the roof is also matched with golden carvings, which look resplendent and magnificent. โ€

โ€ƒโ€ƒThe roof of the promenade is mainly golden yellow, and a square pattern is uniformly carved, with lace decoration, and then a European-style downlight is installed in the center, and the downlight is turned on at night for better lighting effect.

โ€ƒโ€ƒIn the middle of the corridor is a transparent glass roof, the sun can shine through the windows, it looks very stylish, echoing the roof, the yellow marble floor tiles at the feet, the mosaic decoration on the ceiling is really beautiful, and there are four colorful paintings on the top.

โ€ƒโ€ƒThe windows are also particularly chic, and the carved patterns are designed around the windows, which are finely carved and look very exquisite, showing all the Renaissance heritage, which is impressive and unforgettable.

โ€ƒโ€ƒTourists are weaving, shuttling here, there are many shops, the goods are dazzling, it is very lively, Qu Lihua followed the head of Xia and Oliver, while looking up, while walking forward, here is really very popular, there are a lot of people, the people around are Italian, there are also English, from all over the world.
