About
Alchemy's mysteries are revealed through a 17th-century doorway in a Sabine village.
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. This 17th-century portal was originally located in the Camiciotti Palazzo and now serves as an entrance to a small memorial park. On the side facing the road are elaborate carvings and symbols depicting the Great Transmutation.
