I’m going to privatise today’s edition of Thursday Doors like some bank and furnish it with my parents who are coming up, or down in this case, right about now.
But first, a special kind of Thursday Doors. Thanks, mom, for the idea and the props. I’ll never hold a 50 Euro banknote again without thinking of Thursday Doors, and now neither will anybody who sees this. 😀
And now a collection of doors from here and there featuring my parents, especially mom and dad (to quote a Slovenian soccer player). Bienvenuti!
Let’s begin in Piran. Father likes to take the steepest path to walk bestia.
Mom subconsciously observes each door she sees. In Piran there are many.
But this one is the most important one of all, the door to our oasis with Edam and Ava. 😀
In Vignoni they were a bit stingy with the size of this opening.
I love the mischief. Pitigliano.
A parallel life in Monticiano.
Vulci museum courtyard.
Father in Motovun, Crotia.
And again in Grožnjan, Croatia.
Mom taken by this display in Pienza.
In Niki de Saint Phalle’s Il giardino dei tarocchi.
Mom posing in Capalbio.
Again, a bit small. Capalbio.
Mom found her favourite, Capalbio.
What about the giants? Vulci museum.
Mom, a happy martyr. Koštabona, Slovenia.
Here we are with a nice door in Scarlino. Photo: MC

I love the fact that your parents are totally into assisting you in finding cool doors 🙂
As usual, there are so many great doors to choose from – including the 50 Euro note … but my favourite is your dad squeezing through the narrow blue door 🙂
The skinny door appears to be a door within a door. I guess you want to try to get through the little one, rather than look like you require the full access.
I love the contrast between many of the doors and the stone walls. It really makes them pop out.
Your parents look like they are enjoying this visit. I hope you had/have a wonderful time together.
Thanks, Dan, I’m sure we will! They are not here yet, this is a selection from their many visits, and mine, in the last three and a half years since I’ve been in Italy.
Door loving has become a family affair!,Some very nice ones as well and oh yes, I’ll never look at the 50 euro note again without thinking of Thursday!
Needless to say: I LOVE IT! What a wide variety of doors and you all look like you’re having so much fun 😀
I had never noticed the doors on the 50 Euro note either – good eye Mom!
What a fun post! And your parents really got into your search for doors! And you found many! They changed the money in Europe while we already lived in the USA. Great post:)
Mania and fun – well done. I love the Vignoni door with the slice of an opening – but all so rich – and brought a smile. cheers to your parents – have a nice day
Great collection of doors, as always Manja. Your parents look to be having a lovely time. Interesting door on your €50 note – I must check to see what we have on our Irish one.
Looks like your parents have a good sense of humour! 😉
You’ve got some really amazing photos here, and some interesting windows too, like the ones in the “parallel life” photo. Hard to pick a favourite door from this collection, so I’m not even gonna try
The Mexi Movie II. (closed) 
LOL! Loved “What about the Giants?”! Great selection of doors, and captions! Enjoy the visit with your parents!

You’re lucky MMM. No one shares my enthusiasm … although my hiking partner humours me when I stop a hundred times to take a photo 🙂

The narrow door and the Euro doors are the most unusual. I enjoyed meeting your parents and I think your dad should forget that small door!
