Built between 1887 and 1890, the Umberto I Gallery it is one of the most sumptuous city lounges in Italy, dedicated to King Umberto I and his active presence during the cholera epidemic that hit the city in 1884. It represents the spearhead of that urban “redevelopment” decreed in 1885, which changed the face of an area of the city (Santa Brigida) which since the 16th century had been the complete opposite of a bourgeois living room…Today, with Starbucks it hosts around 40 points of sale.
