Alchemical Door of Rivodutri

[Paul Ferguson]

"A 17th-century doorway in a small Sabine village is a portal into the mysteries of alchemy. The small Sabine village of Rivodutri was largely destroyed by the earthquake of 1948, but one unusual architectural element survived, known locally as the Alchemical Door"

[Paul Ferguson]

"Although popularly referred to as Rivodutri’s Alchemical Door, to avoid confusion with the more famous alchemical portal in Rome, this doorway is known also as the Nicolò Door. It is believed that the original building of which the door was part of was once owned by the Nicolò family. The family came into possession of the building in 1757, when it was bequeathed to them by a certain Don Bernardino, who belonged to the Camisciotti family. It has been speculated that the door was made by the Camisciotti, a powerful town family in the 17th century AD. Members of the family are frequently mentioned as holding important public administration and ecclesiastical positions during that time."
