Galleria Umberto is a public gallery in Naples, Italy designed by Emanuele Rocco. It was constructed between 1887-1891. At that time it was the cornerstone during a rebuilding period of Naples that lasted until World War I. The Galleria is named for Umberto I, King of Italy at the time of construction. Originally it was intended for multi-use, combining businesses, shops, cafes with apartments on the third floor.

I wanted to take more photos of the Levent District but the police (security) stopped me when I had my camera and tripod all ready to go. I found it odd since I have had my camera and tripod in mosques without any complaints. It was a pity because I had the most awesome shot of the skyline framed. I should have just taken it and gotten arrested :)

I was a little worried about my film having to go through all those metal detectors at the entrances to shopping malls and transit stations but my photos came out fine.
