Sigismundus door

Via dei Bonaccorsi, 13.

This door is among the oldest doors in Italy.

It dates back to 1520, when the house was built by the canon Miliani who then gave it to his family.

The wooden door, over the centuries, has lost inlays in which the contours of the figures of saints and an Annunciation were distinguished, today only intuitive.

Only the writing “Sigismundus” is clearly legible.
