Galleria Umberto I is a shopping arcade built in Naples between 1887 and 1890 . It is dedicated to Umberto I of Italy , as a tribute to the King and in remembrance of his generous presence during the cholera epidemic of 1884, which demonstrated the need for a "restoration" of the city.
The Galleria Umberto I is one of the most beautiful buildings in Naples and strangely flies under the radar of the usual tourist itineraries of the city. Its grandiose external facade is matched only by its marble floors and amazing glass roof. Its cavernous spaces are occupied by a number of shops and offices while just outside are the Teatro San Carlo and the busy Via Toledo.
