  5. Three doors, each with its own unique story, together making a harmonious little post.

  7. I was going to say, it's Wednesday!

    Just the name, l'aquila nera, is terribly evocative.

  10. Did you try to open any of these?
    You found some major doors there.

    The historic photo in your linked post--so tragic.

  16. Doors... and windows... and roofs (hehe)... are like benches... Could do an endless series of them. These three are superb, but shame on whoever defaced the church wall!
