Now our path will run north through the famous gallery of Victor Immanuel the Second. The gallery was built in record time - for three years. The first stone was laid on March 7, 1865, by King Victor Emmanuel II himself. Unfortunately, the Gallery architect, Giuseppe Mengoni, was not present at this event. He died falling from the scaffolding near the dome. The coats of arms of the four capitals of the Italian Kingdom decorate the floor. Symbols of Milan, Turin, Florence, and Rome are depicted here. The coat of arms with a cross belongs to Milan. The bull is the symbol of Turin. The lily symbolizes Florence, and the she-wolf belongs to Rome. Look at the emblem of Turin. Its genital has a noticeable indentation made by heels by thousands of tourists: it is believed that spin on this place brings good luck (what does the bull think about this?). Few know where this tradition came from. Once, Milanese and Turin had very uneasy relations: such a gesture was born as a kind of mockery. In our time, Milan’s relationships with Turin are quite good, but the tradition has remained.
