Hello Mr Door

I adored this door! he's got such a great face and expression, and has obviously had a hard life and some major reconstruction work done, not much cosmetic attention however!

This door is in Citta Sant'Angelo in Abruzzo, Italy. It is a very interesting, historic town. Here's the wiki blurb:
"Located in the eastern portion of the Vestine region. Mentioned by Plinius as one of four Vestini cities, Angelus or Angulum, where today Città Sant’Angelo stands. It is cited from the 12th century as Castrum Sancti Angeli (Latin: "Castle of the Holy Angels").

It was a Guelph city destroyed in 1239 by Boemondo Pissono, executioner to Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor of the Hohenstaufen dynasty, because the city was too loyal to his enemy, the Roman Catholic Church. Reconstruction began in 1240 and the city took the shape of a fortified nucleus in a semicircle. It gradually became one of several feudal possession, between the Carafa and the Piccolomini. The arrival of the monastic orders in the first half of the 14th century generated widening interest and finally a monastery was established. By 1528 it obtained the current name of the city. Gradually an agrarian bourgeoisie firmly established itself through to the 17th century."

I spent a good deal of the day photographing doors, door knockers and all kinds of door furniture, there was such variety. The rest of the time we ate ice cream, had a beer and bought tons of licquorice!!

Always a lovely place to visit.
