Magic gate

Of course it's not magic, but I like to think it is... You are in Piazza Erbe, under the arches of the Domus Mercatorum and you are attracted by the black curly gate, so you step closer and closer and push it. In a flash of light you swirl into the past... back into the centuries when the Domus Mercatorum had just being built in stone (1301 as you see it now) and it was of key importance in the development of the merchants corporations over the centuries.

Behind the green door

Veronetta district. A hidden garden guarded by two ancient statues. I stepped into the courtyard and was enchanted by this sight. A black cat came near the gate from inside the luscious garden.

Behind guardian statues;
a black cat looks me
from the past.
