In the previous article we briefly explained the grandeur of the Galleria Vittorio Emmanuelle. In it you will find the nerve center of luxury shopping and talks in the cafe or ice cream parlors. A favorite place for Milanese and visitors to spend the afternoon, take a walk, and enjoy the natural entry of sunlight through its double-glazed dome and roof. In winter, this gallery fills with visitors, given the good natural climate that acquires the interior of the gallery, quite the opposite as it happens outside.
He also named the shields-mosaics that appear on the ground, and that few people pay attention to it, due to the size and spectacular nature of the gallery and its shops. In this article I recommend that you look at the ground when you go to Galleria Vittorio Emanuelle.
The shields represent the four capitals of Italy. One of the red cross of Milan , The She-Wolf of Rome, the Lily of Florence and the Bull of Turin, and the latter has a tradition that you should never overlook.
La tradition account, what do you owe stepping on the bull's genitals with the heel or heel, and turn three times without releasing your heel supporting the bullfighting parties. While you go the three laps you make a wish without telling anyone. This will make it fulfill your wish and that you will visit Milan again. As you will see in the photo, thousands of people have followed this ritual. Be sure to follow this ritual on your visit to the gallery and Duomo, and also admire the magnificent composition of the mosaic.
