Description

The image depicts Piazza del Duomo back in the day. Milano Cathedral is in the background on the right while Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, a shopping mall, is on the left. The plaza is full with people going about their day; some people walk, others ride carriages, and some ride the tram. Woman wear long dresses and hats, while the men wear suits and hats. There are no distinct roads or sidewalks other than the tram path that goes through the plaza.
