Galleria Umberto I, Commercial gallery and shopping mall in central Naples, Italy.

The Galleria features a glass-and-iron structure with four wings meeting at a central rotunda beneath a 56-meter high glass dome.

Constructed between 1887 and 1891, the Galleria represented a major part of Naples' urban development following the Italian unification period.

The building incorporates elements of Stile umbertino architecture, displaying late 19th-century Italian design through marble floors and intricate mosaics.

Located near Via Toledo and the San Carlo Theater, the gallery maintains continuous operation with shops and cafes accessible twenty-four hours daily.

Local children transform the marble floors into an impromptu soccer field during evening hours, creating an unexpected mix of commerce and recreation.
