Italy is expanding efforts to make its cultural heritage more accessible to individuals with disabilities. Visitors who are blind or visually impaired, such as Michela Marcato, have been able to explore landmarks like Rome’s Colosseum through tactile experiences that help convey architectural details.
Since 2021, the country has accelerated initiatives to improve accessibility at major tourist attractions. These measures include the introduction of tactile models, audio guides, and other tools designed to provide a more inclusive experience for all visitors.
**Why this matters**
Improving accessibility allows a wider range of people to engage with Italy’s rich artistic and historical sites. These efforts promote inclusivity and ensure that cultural heritage can be appreciated regardless of physical ability.
