The Umberto I Gallery is shaped like a cross with orthogonal, almost equal arms; its central octagon is protected by an iron-and-glass dome that is almost sixty meters high, designed by Paolo Boubée. As architecture historian Cesare De Seta noted, it immediately became “the best place for journalists and writers to meet, as well as a prime location for businesses, theaters, café-chantant, and nightclubs”.
