Five doors of the Teatro Comunale, Todi, Umbria, Italy, July 2023

Thursday doors – 26 October 2023, Todi, Italy

Doors 240 – Todi doors, Umbria, Italy (Part II)

This week I am sharing some more doors from our summer trip to Umbria. I fear that I am becoming a bit of a compulsive door collector and bore. The family have stopped waiting for me when we walk through towns together, instead I have to take pictures and then do that funny middle-aged jog kind of thing that is actually no faster than walking, to catch up with them. On the odd occasion, one of them will say – ‘hey that is a great door, why don’t you photograph it?’… but it is rare.

Todi is door heaven – like so many Italian towns and cities, and one or two of the doors in this selection rank in my top ten all-time Italian doors. I hope you enjoy these now as much as I enjoyed them back in July.

  1. You might have the single largest collection of ghost doors, ever. I love the doors, the hardware and the light fixtures in the door to the Teatro Comunale. I love the photo of the wood panel door between the ghost doors. I like how they handled being built on a hill – they simply flattened out the portion at their door. That’s brilliant!

  2. Wonderful door! I enjoyed them all. The small arched door with the red box and stone steps is a delight in all things door related:, ancient, a pop of color and a fabulous set of steps to it.
    Thank you for sharing from your collection!
