Notes about error in file name and original German caption

---

• File name and historical caption in deutch: "Südtor von St.Vito 10.2.18" ("soutern gate of St.Vito 10 february 1918").
• Analysis: All special details tell that really this is not the southern gate (DE: "Südtor"), called "Torre Grimana", but the eastern gate, called "Torre Scaramuccia":
  • the right signpost leads to Casarsa (della Delizia), which is in north. The left signpost leads to Savorgnano, which is a village in the south. The signpost to the railway station ("Bahnhof") has no contradiction, the station is southwest of the old city center, and as we see from restrictions of speed (Automobile langsam fahren) and for trucks ("Lastenautos durchfahrt verboten") already in those days they wanted to keep the trough traffic out of the citycenter.
  • The eastern gate meanwhile has been restored resembling its medieval state, but it still has a pedestrian pass on the right. The southern gate, on the other hand, has a profiled Renaissance façade, resembling an ancient Roman triumphal arch. See the municipal website on Torre Grimana
  • Like today, through the gateway we see low two-storey houses in front of the high building of Duomo San Vito.
  • The house ("ALBERGO" = hotel) right of the gate tower is the same as today. The high gouse on the left has disappeared.
