This hidden square in Messina made it worth it the visit.

The best source of brand names, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II Be careful, be careful that the money in your wallet will disappear because this is a shopping mall in the middle of Milan Square. It is one of the shoppers' paradises.... Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is located in the same square as the Duomo, a church with beautiful architecture. Walking next to it, you will see a large dome decorated with very beautiful architecture. If you do not know, you will think that this is just a beautifully decorated building. But do you know that from the entrance to the last building, it is a magnificent brand name area with every famous brand, LOUIS VUITTON, Gucci, Chanel, Hermes and many more. There are both men's and women's collections. I believe that many people who go there must hold on to their wallets tightly. The next post will collect more beautiful angles of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II for you. #travel #GalleriaVittorioEmanueleII #milan #italy #photography #withmyshutter

#mynovgetaway The sculpture, in the shape of an archetype symbol, the maze, is a physical and inner way, where once we get in, is impossible not to cross it all. The art work is connected to the past, to the classic culture, to the birth, to the first education of the life. Through a natural passage, you get into the maze and exit from the maze, such as the man that, in the time, has entered and exited from the earth scene. Who gets in the maze, ask questions to himself that regard the own existence, in a place and a timeless dimension in which it’s impossible don’t think. The maze is reflection, is spirituality that derives from a kind of "maternity", expressed in a concentric tangle of circles culminating in an aspiration to the sublime. A journey that seems inside the earth but it’s under the sky, where the center is the life, the ancient source represented by a shiny metallic slab in the center of the spiral, metaphor of the Mother Nature and the mystery of the fecundation.
