The Twilight Zone
This is the second door that allows access to the Saint Michael's Abbey, a religious complex situated on Mount Pirchiriano, Susa Valley (Italy).
The abbey, which for much of its history came under Benedictine rule, is now entrusted to the Rosminians.
This door leads to the Staircase of the Dead, so called because it was once lined with tombs.
As perhaps you might notice, this shot is obtained by slightly tilting the camera, taking into account the falling lines generated by the light itself in counterpoint with the building's structure.
An indissoluble union, which would have been totally lost if holding the camera parallel to the ground.
However, even more important, this corner of the abbey brought me back to memory the famous angled door, symbol of the brilliant sci-fi television series "The Twilight Zone", created by the visionary Rod Serling from 1959 to 1964.
