London, Montreal, New York?

Perugia, as previously said, has surprising buildings that do not really belong to Italian architecture... This door with stairs, for instance, remembers some typical entrance you can see in London with different colourful doors, or Montreal with higher stairs... or again maybe New York in Greenwich Village?
After a while of seeing Perugia as an Etruscan and Medieval small Umbrian city... maybe it appears to be not that Italian? 
Kidding, this door could only stay in Italy. Look at the colour of the wall. This orange that recalls sienna - terra di Siena, a specific orange clay from Siena - and this light coming from the top right, just like light hits buildings in Roma and gives it this famous atmosphere. So, despite some hints to other cities, Perugia will always be very Italian...
