Hello, hello! I’ve been in Italy for the two weeks – I’m
studying abroad this semester! – and haven’t been interneting much, but I
wanted to share this photo. It says “Lift for Disabled” and I took it at a
medieval castle. The castle also had wooden ramps over the stairs in each room.
And again, this was at a medieval castle. A medieval
castle on a hill. So when restaurants say that they can’t renovate to provide
access because it would “ruin the spirit of the place” or when a hair salon
refuses to provide disabled parking because “no one with a disability ever comes here,”
I have think that maybe they just don’t care about disabled people, hmm?
There is no excuse for inaccessibility.
[Image description: Two white signs are posted on orange construction fencing. One reads "vietato l'accesso, lavori in corso," which means "no entry, work in progress," and the other reads "ascensore per disabili," which means "lift for disabled."]
