Happy leap day to you, the curious vagaries of time eh? Last week I trailed this week as being the last selection of doors from the beautiful hilltop town of Montefalco in Umbria, Italy, well it seems I was getting a little ahead of myself, and after today's doors there will be one more trip to the town before perhaps sharing some doors closer to home. My apologies for inadvertently misleading you.
This week's selection of doors were located near or in the church of Saint Agostino, a short distance west of the main square. The church, a modestly presented building, was quite empty of people and clutter except for a couple of caskets containing the dried and preserved remains of disciples of St Chiara of the Cross. These displays are quite common in Italian churches, but always seem to be a little bit at odds with English sensibility. The caskets have hinged doors which is why I have included them. I hope you enjoy these and the other doors in today's selection:
