Galleria Vittorio Emanuele III, Art Nouveau building in Messina, Italy.
The structure features three wings converging into a central hexagon covered by a glass dome with colored skylights and mosaic tile flooring.
The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele III, designed by architect Camillo Puglisi Allegra, opened on August 13, 1929, during the reconstruction of Messina after the 1908 earthquake.
The interior decorations, created by sculptors Antonio Bonfiglio and Ettore Lovetti, incorporate elements from 18th-century Sicilian artistic traditions.
Located at Piazza Antonello in central Messina, the gallery now houses restaurants, cocktail bars, and various commercial establishments.
The building's metal framework supports a double-vaulted roof system with stained glass windows, creating an architectural fusion of Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles.
