Doors are where the street ends and private life begins, a passage between inside and outside. No one can be sure what they will encounter once they pass in or out... There is a different world behind every door or gate, whose outer surfaces reflect the world they protect. They symbolise their time, the people who live behind them and the many events to which they have been witness... Doors are passages through which you reach the inner worlds of people. Although they have a world within themselves, their front faces opening on the outer world are symbols. They are the expressions of what is lived within. The traces of the world show themselves in the material, knockers, hinges and other accessories of them. Every hand-crafted door has a character relating uniquely to the building to which it belongs. With their thresholds, doormats, locks and knockers, doors mark the beauties, elegance and inner worlds lived behind them, presenting a superb display of artistic skill... Sometimes you notice a door, smiling at you with love; it invites you inside, taking you back in time...
