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):
