Door to Door Canvassing ✏️ for #doorsday

Some Bolognese door art - Unfortunately I don't know the artist of this beautiful piece. You might need to zoom in to see how detailed and ornate it really is! I like how the wrought iron compliments it too! ✨

Open Seas-a-me for #doorsday 🌊

This is the Fontana del Nettuno in Piazza Nettuno. Neptune is the Roman God of the Seas (and Horses funnily enough.) The bottom of the fountain is covered - because of restoration. It was designed by Tommaso Laureti in 1563 and finished in 1565. The statue of Neptune however wasn't finished until 1566 and was created by Baccion Bandinelli. This photo was taken from inside Palazzo Re Enzo which was founded in 1246. ✨

A Timely Entrance/Exit for #doorsday ⏰

There are quite a few sundials and meridian line sundials around Bologna! Unfortunately I don't know the history of this one, I've tried looking, I've found it on maps but the only information I can get on it is that it is a private residence. If you look at it closely you can see the image of a crab representing Cancer on the left hand side of the dial and some.scales representing Libra on the right! ✨

This Tiny Threshold has Binge Hinge Energy! 💪🏻🚪 It's so cool, it's ice cold ❄️

What's behind the this door? Second breakfast? Kinda! 🥞 This is a "Ghiacciaia". Essentially an outdoor fridge freezer. This place would be packed with ice or snow and used to keep food cold. We're talking meat, milk, vegetables, that half bag of oven chips in the back of the freezer we all have - everything. The palazzo where this Ghiacciaia resides is Palazzo Zani and it was built in 1594. The Ghiacciaia itself however was built sometime in the 1800's. So, between 1594 and sometime in the 1800's they probably had a Indesit or something. ✨

A Deadlocked Door? Neigh! A Fetlocked Door! 🐎 🚪 for #doorsday

(I am well aware that this is a horrifically bad pun. It's so hard to come up with door puns, let alone horse-door puns. Have some mercy 😂)

A cute little door from one of the side streets in the centre. It's a very narrow street and a very narrow door! You don't often see green doors around here, so it does stand out! There's a close-up of the horse door knocker too! ✨

I'm no horse anatomist but a fetlock is essentially a horse ankle. Thanks to the Eurovision contestants Fr. Ted and Fr. Dougal for the inspiration. 🎶

Hideaway / Il Nascondiglio for #doorsday

There are so many secrets behind closed doors. However! This weekend in Bologna there is "Diverdeinverde" where a lot of the hidden and/or private gardens open up to visitors for a few hours. Expect lots of flower and garden photos soon. (At least I hope!! 💐) ✨

Count (Do)Orlock for #doorsday

(Scroll back and forth quickly through pictures 2-5 for the best experience 😂)

This door is one of the side doors from the Collegio di Spagna - part of the University of Bologna and operational since the 14th century. It is a college for Spanish Students and it is the oldest in the world open to foreign students. (More on this cool building later!)
I spent more time on this than I care to admit and how I arrived at this magnum opus/possible cry for help has been surprising - even for me. 😂 I would love your opinions on in the comments!
I hope you like it and it makes you smile! ✨

Looking Wist(eria)fully... for #doorsday 🪻

Door with a lovely long haircut in the centre of Bologna - Peter, I imagine, was reminiscing about when he had ̶h̶a̶i̶r̶, I mean, wisteria. ✨

(This joke got his seal of approval before posting! 😂✨ It's just playful banter!)

🎶 Come on, Baby, Light my Fire 🔥 🎶 - T̶h̶e̶ D̶o̶o̶r̶s̶ This Door #Doorsday

There was a little accident and a car caught fire and damaged the door. (Nobody was hurt, everyone is fine! ♥️). It happened a while ago - they just haven't replaced the door -
Must have known Doorsday was coming! 🤭

🔔 Ring Ring! 🔔 It's #Doorsday!

Here we have the front door to Casa Caccianemici in Bologna. Last week for window Friday I showed you one of its windows.
Some of the building dates back to the 13th century, other parts to the 15th century. It used to be home to the Passapoveri tower. "Caccianemici" means "to throw out/get rid of enemies" - so I guess as long as you are on good terms with the homeowners you're fine! 😂

"Open The Noor!" It's #Doorsday! 🚪
Being a bit cheeky with this door - as it's a door within a door - Doorception ✨

The open door is part of Il Palazzo Monti Poi Salina, this version - built between 1736 and 1738. One of the courtyards has a well dating back to the 14th century, oh and the palazzo was used as a bomb shelter during World War II.
There's like a web designer office or something across the road - I don't know much about it to be honest! 😂

Knock Knock! 👊🏻 It's #Doorsday!

Catalani Tower House / Casa Torre dei Catalani.
The house is 16 metres high and was built around 1200 as a livable tower. It's got a lot of history, a legend of love and loss, some interesting family members who appear in Dante's inferno and it's just tucked away in a little quiet backstreet.
