After the unification of Italy in 1861, Milan became a city that symbolised the second industrial revolution and the related social changes. Therefore, the new emerging middle class sought to renew the urban image of the city, seeking to surround themselves with the symbols and signs of their own success. Thus, they envisaged the creation of a connecting street between La Scala and Piazza Duomo. In 1863, amongst the many projects presented, was that of the architect Giuseppe Mengoni. On 7 March 1865 King Vittorio Emanuele II laid the first stone for the construction of the Gallery in a ceremonial spirit marred only by an unexpected snowfall. The first inhabitant of the Gallery was Gaspare Campari who opened the café Campari: a very classy bar where artists like Giacosa, Puccini, Boito and Tallone used to meet. His son, David was the first baby to be born in the Gallery.
