Il National Railway Museum of Pietrarsa in Naples kicked off a nice initiative, namely the deaf people will be able to enter for free inside the structure. The realization of this project was possible thanks to the agreement stipulated between the FS Italiane Foundation and the Naples Provincial Section of the National Body for the protection and assistance of the deaf (ENS).
In particular, for all visits that will be booked directly by ENS there will be expert sign language guides who will guide deaf people to discover the history of this place, telling them curiosities and anecdotes relating to the carriages on display.
In this way, access and guidance to the facility is also ensured for these disabled people.
