This post, perhaps too many of similar photos, are for 'Foodie65'
who requested them and others that said they really liked 'door photos'.
All but one of these were taken on Via Antonia Gramsci. All the houses are connected on both sides to the house/shop/business beside them and had living quarters above. I believe most had two or three floors above the ground level.
The next post will be of a more general nature!!

Very good series of doors Travelerted.

Ive always found doors to be an interesting view into a culture or society, as are windows, which is another 'object' I like to photograph.
Anyway, thanks for dropping by Earnest - have a good evening,

I really like the different fans on top. Are they wrought iron?

Outstanding collection of doors. Consider making a montage of all the doors of Voltarra. Great quality.

They warmed of different materials - some wood, some metal, and some stone. The workmanship always amazes me from some of the things that are hundreds of years old. As you walk along and see all the variety it really is quite amazing.
Thanks for looking in and posting.......ted

Thank you, Stan, for your looking and idea. I had seen a large poster while in Ireland of many of the Irish doors that was quite interesting. I bought it to put up in my classroom and it was quite interesting to my kids.
Have a good evening - ted.

Wow, those are gorgeous! Nice work!

Great series! Doors are gateways to serenity, freedom of communication, and possibly access to eternal happiness. In ancient Egypt, as well as Etruria , they were often used either painted or sculpted or freestanding as a means of offering communication between the world of the dead and the world of living, so that the immortal soul could continue to enjoy life to eternity. This is why to this day public buildings and religious establishments create masterpieces like the Florence Cathedral you included in your series.
Thanks!

Through my travels, I have seen "Doors" as a poster from many places. I like your doors better. I am sure the kids are curious about the doors.
