If there is a contest for the perfect front door my vote will be for this one. The fact that this is a side door and probably lead only to an inner court, doesn't change my opinion
.
The door is part of an elegant building in Via Castelli, completely renovated few years ago. Even the back of the building overlooks the water, with a picturesque arrays of windows.
This is the Headquarters of the D'Alesio Group, which manages a fleet of bunker tankers whose names will be familiar to most of our readers: “Antignano”, “Acquaviva”, “Montenero”, “Meloria”, “Ardenza”, just to name a few.
This door has also my vote, not mention those beautiful windows!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week:)
A perfect, simple door, and I love the windows. I would love to work there, a few years back, maybe I could have!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful massive door. But I like especially these wonderful and unique windows!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful door. Thank you for putting it in context. And thank you for the shot of those various windows, with their open and closed shutters, and such an array of shapes and sizes.
ReplyDeleteI get the sense — I'm not sure why — that the door and building are old, yet the detail of the arch is so art deco.
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by those motor boats with canopies. I don't think I've ever seen anything like theme here.
That is a beautiful door. Wouldn't mind owning it myself:-)
ReplyDeleteToo many windows in the last photo. I wonder why they put those windows on such arrangement?
ReplyDeleteGreat door and looks like a wonderful restoration as well.
ReplyDeleteI agree, VP. The lines are perfect and the building is simply magnificent! It looks fairly new; is that true?
ReplyDeleteSuperb photos!
It is a gorgeous door - the proportions and the rich brown of the wood.
ReplyDeleteI am really impressed by how many buildings have been renovated in Livorno. It's nice to see that the old grandeur is being preserved.
Nice photos! The palace is "Palazzo Stub" (http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palazzo_Stub)
