Marino was clearly not a tourist place but instead a traditional Italian living and working town with shabby narrow streets, care worn but brightly colour-washed buildings with ancient coats of paint which have blotched and blurred by successive harsh summers and the result is a glorious wash like water colours in the rain, everything running, leaking and fusing.

The people must be so poor, this makes me sad. I like old buildings but these look like battle scars. 😦

It is a way of life. I am not sure if they are poor or not but that is the way they choose to live!

I realize not all people are house proud. I guess money is better spent elsewhere.

“Care worn” is the perfect phrase. It’s the ideal photo for the theme, Andrew. ~Terri

Love old, seasoned doors and the stories of people who have entered and exited them.
