In our apartment, the paintings on most of the walls
Go with the reds of the chairs to enliven the room.
On the way out the door, you confront a darker frame
With black and white images in three vertical planes.
All are set in Spoleto. Most are clearly dated anni 1930.
The undated one, closest to us by far, shares an address:
Porta Fuga, the famous door from which Hannibal fled.
But there is no escaping the Fascismo and a time of dread.
