Galleria Centrale “Eat & Meet”
Via Emilia San Pietro
Reggio Emilia, May 2024
“The Galleria Centrale (Central Gallery) of Reggio Emilia was built in 1927 based on a project by the architect Prospero Sorgato. The original layout is structured on a central nave and two lateral ones. The building was conceived as a food market with a popular character, but a few years after its inauguration it was converted into a shopping mall. The architectural language expresses the transition period between Neoclassical and Art Nouveau. If the external facade shows the grandeur of the neoclassical, the atmosphere changes progressively when entering the building, showing the influence of other styles such as Liberty and Eclecticism.” (A Century of History, Eat & Meet)
