Great walk! I like the word spingere.
ReplyDeleteSuch artistic items in your city.
ReplyDeleteFive great photos. The last one seems a child's toy.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed today's walk. The coat of arms and the door knocker are especially fine.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the bright blue "ape," and thanks for the link. What an interesting history!!
ReplyDeleteI just love to see where your walks will take us. Great door knocker too.
ReplyDeleteI assume that there was a small clock somewhere in days past.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a an automatic door that opens when you use a beautiful knocker, lol! Great walk!
Another great walk, VP! Obviously, my favourite is knocker in the first photo:)
ReplyDeleteI have already learnt something new today....
ReplyDeleteThanks for the interesting post and the link to "Ape".
Funny to have the fancy old knocker on an old door, but with automatic opening.
ReplyDeleteI remember my first experience with such a door in Neuchatel--it creeped me out. No one there, but it opened before me.
so much art...so little time to see it all...enjoyed the walk!
ReplyDeleteThe coat of arms is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMai sentito dire l'oriolino...la foto con l'Ape è davvero indovinata anche per i colori! Ciao, Arianna
ReplyDeleteLove the first photo. Can we at least use the knocker as long as we don't push the door? :D
ReplyDeleteInteresting items. I'd like to have a coat-of-arms on my house. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe detail of the door in your first shot is awesome and I also like the coat of arms!

My favourite here is the photo of the 2 windows.
ReplyDeleteIf you push the door, the lion will bite you!
