Considering that state cultural places are called to respond to the new needs of visitors who in recent years require more inclusive and engaging ways of museum fruition, the Promotion and Communication Office of Istituto Autonomo Villa Adriana e Villa d’Este, pursuing the guidelines expressed in this regard by the Direazione Genearale Musei, has formulated the project "Passepartout - accessibilità culturale: creazione di nuovi percorsi multisensoriali (cultural accessibility: creation of new multisensory routes)."
This project envisages the expansion of the cultural offer and uses, among other things, the aid of digital technologies, with content specifically designed to facilitate the usability and understanding of places through a type of communication as inclusive as possible.
This App is a digital product of the project. All the accessible routes of the Institute flow into it. The App will be periodically updated and implemented.
Currently, the accessible routes are:
1. VILLAE Sign
A general itinerary through the Villae using video guides in Italian Sign Language and International Sign Language.
2. VILLAE Touch
A sensory journey that invites you to discover the shapes and contents of the Villae sites through the tactile panels displayed along the visitor itineraries.
3. VILLAE Easy
A journey to discover the Villae through a Guide in a language that is easy to read and understand for everyone.
4. VILLAE Game
A video game App to discover the beauties and curiosities of the Villae through games and fun, with particular attention to the younger guests and to usability by people with SLD.T
