The Galleria Umberto I was built on the site of the Hospital of the Mauritian Order that closed in 1890. The only surviving section now houses the chemist's shop, one of the oldest in the city, right in the middle of the gallery. The glass-covered walkways are separated in a "Lorena's cross" design by Lorenzo Rivetti. The many shops on the ground floor have their stores on the floor above.
