Capitoline Museums - Via delle Tre Pile, 1 - Removal of architectural and cognitive barriers in the museum itinerary

Removal of physical and cognitive barriers in museums, libraries and archives to enable wider access and participation in culture  (Mission 1, Component 3, Investment 1.2)

Italy’s Recovery and Resilience Plan provides for the removal of architectural, cultural and cognitive barriers in a number of Italian cultural institutions. Interventions shall be combined with training for administrative staff and cultural operators, promoting a culture of accessibility and developing expertise on legal aspects, reception, cultural mediation and promotion.

The investment is financed by Italy’s Recovery and resilience plan by EUR 300 million.

As part of this investment, the project aims to improve accessibility at the Capitoline Museums in Rome for visitors with disabilities by removing architectural barriers, enhancing sensory and cognitive access, and integrating new tools (such as tactile paths, audio descriptions, and QR codes) both onsite and online. Managed by Roma Capitale with Zetema, the initiative seeks to ensure an inclusive visitor experience and increase the number of disabled visitors beyond the current 1.5% of annual attendance.

This project is financed by the Recovery and Resilience Facility with EUR 488.017,00
