I have it on good authority that these are summer and winter doors.
The smaller door is used in winter in order to conserve the warmth inside, while the larger door is used during summer when more ventilation is desired.
Please consider submitting to the Windows and Doors Group… (want to have this for our collection!! Especially as you have most your other work already there!) Such an interesting door… wonder how it opens, or if the smaller one is only used now. And pink limestone?… Where is this??

Hi,
I have submitted it to Windows and Doors.
It must open from the inside. There appears to be no handles on the outside.
The door is a side entrance to a church in Assisi, Italy.
