Dan’s Thursday Doors

Continuing on with the collection of door photos from my European holidays.

This time we are off to Italy and a look at the final photos of Italian doors.

May as well start in Rome with an impressive solid metal door. The door surround is fabulous

A metal door so large I could get it all in

Wooden with lots of metal studs in Florence. On the chain was red/white safety tape. I edited it out for you viewing pleasure

A wonderful Bologna door. The bottom bit needed a bit of TLC and I hope it got it

Another of my favourite places. The hilltop town of Orvieto not far from Rome. This door has everything going for it.

What an entrance in Genoa!! I would almost call it brutalist style except it is a bit older than the 1950’s

A very ornate entrance and door in Florence

A close up of the carvings on the door

It’s funny how I have two stair views, one here and one for todays Wordless Wednesday, both so very different.
These are the stairs that led to our Venice apartment in the old palace. A modern conversion but lot’s a the old world still evident

It’s not often a triple dipping comes along does it? I love the colonnades that are a feature of Bologna. This one isn’t as ornate as some of the others but is imposing never-the-less.

Let’s go to Bologna

Another trip to Italy. This time to Bologna, a wonderful city. The best place to eat was just down the road, Trattoria Il Vaporino. They looked after us and the food was fabulous. Good fuel for door hunting

Wood, studs and stone, what could be better

A grand entrance

The carving around the door frame. You can see which door gets most use

Steel, arches and character

Always a surprise waiting in Florence

Debbie’s Six Word Saturday

Sometimes in a car park……

Sometimes in a back street…..

but remember…..
“Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I’ll be watching you
Every move you make
Every step you take
I’ll be watching you”

Going back to Italy

Dan’s Thursday Doors

The doors of Italy. I must have some Italian blood as I just love going there every time I head to Europe. Let’s begin in Genoa with a very impressive doorway and a door that is dwarfed by the surrounding doorway.

A heraldic shield and impressive entrance in Verona

The wooden door from Milan with studs, brick arch and moulding

This could be a church door in Bologna
