Thanks, those are so beautiful as well as functional. Shutters in Canada are mainly thought of as quaint and cosmetic.
There are different types in Italy, I remembered the ones that pull down. I am calling them shutters, but perhaps they have a different name. I assumed this is to keep the buildings cool. I have never seen this concept in Canada. (P.S. edit - They are roller shutters. )
