Thursday Doors: Across the Street in Catania

Here is my contribution to Thursday Doors, a weekly door-lover’s group hosted by Dan Antion over at No Facilities.

This week I’m again featuring Catania, Sicily in Italy.  This wonderfully quirky building sat across the street from where my husband and I stayed.  It was our view for a month and inspired many a story.

Several times over the month, the woman who lived on the top floor would lower a basket by a rope to the street.  A little boy waited for the basket.  He took it and returned with various supplies inside.  He would then call up to the woman, “Hey, I’m back.  The basket is here.”  Or, that’s what I imagined he said.  He spoke in Italian.  The woman would lean over the railing, yell down to the street, “Ciao,” and haul the basket up.  I never had the nerve to take a photo of the woman releasing or pulling the rope, raising or lowering the basket. I don’t know why. I just didn’t.  You can see said basket in the corner of the top balcony with the bright orange flat.
