What Knockers, of Bologna

[Old Crank]

Sophmoric humour. Haven't outgrown it yet.









Me before my morning tea.

3. Some look forbidding

As if to say, ‘go ahead. Knock. I dare you’.

5. Some, none of these,

are tied down so you can't use them.
Normally these are for doors that lead to a courtyard in the center of a building. So now you might not get much response if you used them.
There are intercoms to get to individual apartments and they would buzz you in.

6. Well, I'm glad the building owners kept them

They add a touch of history and mystery.

9. At this point

teh building owners might not have a choice but to keep them. A lot of the remaining old facades are probably protected as historical.

7. The ornate...

Little things that are so essential. Makes me wonder at their history.
