Very attractive with all the plants. I agree with other puzzlers--that is a weird door. Perhaps the occupant of the house is concerned about unauthorized visitors? The window bars seem to confirm security issues along with having the door barred by heavy wooden slats. Maybe?
I wonder how large the inside is too. Don't care much for the door, however, maybe its to keep the house cooler. Would love to visit Italy one day. My daughter said the men there are very forward. Hmmm. I'm too old to mind!
