Doorway to Light

Vicolo degli Abbandonati/ Alley of the Abandoned. Volterra, Tuscany, Italy 2022

 

This short stretch, which acts as a connection between via Persio Flacco and via Lungo le mura, was once part of the maze that made up 'The Labyrinth'.

In the past, the Alley of the Abandoned was the place where those who had no home and needed help.

Covered by an arch, it seems to guarantee, even on an architectural level, the necessary protection for those who did not have a refuge.
