The old wine shop


I regret I didn't get the chance to snap a last photo to the old wine shop before it closed...alas! 
Works are in progress now, perhaps another chain shop is about to overtake this premises. I hope it might be one fine independent shop, and I hope, as well, that it will mantain this lovely red frame and the name of a traditional bottega.

Hard to see something as beautiful as that transition. Lots of memories for the neighbor go with it.

Such a shame but the building is a glorious fading beauty.

It is also so sad when local shops shut down. I hope too that something good will take its place and take care of this lovely spot.

Yes, I hope they keep the beautiful red door.

I also want the big sign above the door. It would make for a great decoration in my apartment.
