Monumenti Aperti a tutti, with its sections Culture without Barriers born in 2003 and Cultural Mediation born in 2009, is an initiative strongly desired by Monumenti Aperti setting itself the goal of facilitating accessibility to monuments to those with temporary or permanent disadvantages and disabilities, and of fostering interculturality. All this happens thanks to the invaluable collaboration of many voluntary associations along with institutions and public and private entities that with great generosity contribute to the realization of this important experience that makes the knowledge of our cultural heritage more democratic every year.
