Twin Gates

Ornate gate, Via Pacinotti, Livorno

Ornate gate, Via Roma, Livorno

These gates may not be identical twins, but I am quite sure that at least their decorations are related closely. The dark one is in Via Antonio Pacinotti and it looks quite pristine. The second gate is in Via Roma and it is probably missing the central part. We have already seen it a few months ago about its hippogriffs.

Jack said...: I think you are right. Maybe the fabricator of the gate offered different ways to finish it, and one buyer chose a head and the other chose a shell.; January 12, 2015 at 12:52 AM

Gunn said...: They are both beautiful, and for me up here in Norway, it is not common to see beautiful gates like this. Well at the Royal castle in Oslo, but not here.; January 12, 2015 at 10:08 AM
