I have very limited free time here in Milan, but last night I was able to hop 
on the metro and spend some time around the Duomo area. The Duomo (cathedral) . 
The church itself was already closed, but next to it is the temple of Mammon, 
the Vittorio Emanuele shopping gallery, in many ways equally magnificent to 
that other temple. So here are some images of the two “temples”. I was struck 
by the architectural parallels and that is what I try to show:

The Duomo:

The opulence:

The fresco:

The statues:

But outside, a note of discord (albeit the spelling could be improved):
