And the quorum of the twelve is a copy of the politburo, so it makes sense.

I believe Milan was the first to do this. So nothing new here.

The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is one of the world's oldest shopping malls. Housed within a four-story double arcade in central Milan, [1] the Galleria is named after Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king of the Kingdom of Italy. It was designed in 1861 and built by Giuseppe Mengoni between 1865 and 1877.

I lived in Moscow and went to G.U.M. many times. I'll have to check out City Creek sometime. LOL. Wonder if City Creek will have as many unoccupied spaces as G.U.M. had. The photo makes it look a whole lot better than it actually was.

That's quite funny. Not much originality in Mormonism, is there.

Hey, wait here's the one I've visited in Naples Italy

https://stlouispatina.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/naples2b20102b551.jpg

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galleria_Umberto_I


Late 19th century 1887–1891

Galleria Umberto, Naples, Italy

Believe me, the Naples mall compares to City Center, as Caesar's Palace Las Vegas does to Rome.

Just look at the main entrance -- now THAT is beauty!!

All I bought on my visit there was gelato. Not even a tourist trap in the fine city of Naples.
