Abstract

Following the completion of restoration work on the rooms on the main floor, the Polytechnic University of Turin launched a series of guided cultural tours for small groups in order to share its historical and architectural heritage with as many people as possible. With this in mind, a broader inclusive communication project for the castle has been set up, based on the integrated use of multiple communication languages - textual, audio, visual and tactile - through the creation of three-dimensional models, relief drawings and video guides in Italian Sign Language (LIS). 

The project complies with the principles of accessibility and equal opportunities enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
