There are two historic gateways in the middle of the older side of the town (I am talking about Civitavecchia, 70 km North from Rome). They are located East and West of the medieval part of the town, and they weren't destroyed during the WWII. Until the first half of the eighteenth century pirate raids from Saracens were an ongoing threat. That's the main raison why those historic gateways were built so narrow.
I noticed that if it were to rain my hair wouldn't get wet :-)
Finally, easy to see how people are glad to get back to normal life.
Have a nice weekend!

...Giorgio, this is gorgeous area that I would love to explore and photograph. Thanks for sharing.
Ciao Giorgio...sei proprio simpatico. Mi piace venire a leggerti, sai donarmi sempre un sorriso con i tuoi commenti spiritosi. Un pizzico di cultura e un pizzico di simpatia...complimenti per questo tuo "bloggerare" 😊😊😊 Ciao, passa una bel sabato sera e una serena domenica.
Ohhh you make this such an inviting place to visit. Wonderful photos. Have a great day today.
This is a really interesting city.. Especially the watchtower stuck between the houses is very interesting :-) You have really interesting but very nice posts and photos.
Thank you and happy sunday:-)
I'd love to explore the place!
Fascinating shots, Giorgio.
To Nicole, Veronica, VivÃ, Tom and SzgnBls: glad you enjoyed reading my post.
🇮🇹 If you were to visit my town, I would be honored to show you all those unusual places located in the medieval center of the urban area ... not to mention of local food and beaches 😎
Foto molto belle. Ho l'impressione di essere stato in tutti quei posti (tranne che nell'ultimo).
I like the historic gate way as I like old/classic architecture, Giorgio. Hmm, the pink flat as we would call such a building here is quite quaint, both the colour and the style. I think Rome has many buildings with historical architecture and it will be a great place to visit. GOod to see that the situation is returning to normal with gyms opened. Enjoy the summer
Belle le porte ad arco e che carina la piccola casa rosa! Mi piace anche l'installazione degli ombrelli colorati... belle foto!
Kisses, Paola.
