Origin
The term "galleria" can be traced back to the Latin word "galeria," which referred to a covered passageway or gallery. This term is derived from the Latin word "gallerus," which means "a kind of hat or headdress." The term "galleria" was first used in the 15th century to describe a long, narrow room in a palace or mansion that was used for displaying works of art or for walking and socializing. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the term began to be used to refer to a covered passageway or arcade that connected two buildings or enclosed a courtyard. In the 19th century, the term "galleria" was adopted into English and French to refer to a large, covered shopping mall or arcade.
