meeting of the Friends of the Cidneo Committee, Professor Ivana Passamani (Founder and President of CITISLAB) spoke to present the progress of the project &#8220;The Castle for All- Tactile Glances from the Cidneo.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the heart of Brescia, the Castle is enriched with a system of <strong>tactile panels<\/strong> designed to make the visit an accessible and shared experience. The project, launched in 2022 by the Lions Club Brescia Leonessa X Giornate together with the Friends of the Cidneo Committee and with the involvement of the Italian Union of the Blind and Visually Impaired, is a concrete example of <strong>cultural<\/strong> heritage <strong>accessibility<\/strong> applied to urban historical heritage. <\/p>\n<p>The intervention is part of a vision consistent with the principles of <strong>design for all<\/strong>, with the aim of offering content usable not only by blind and visually impaired people, but by all visitors. Texts in Italian, English, and Braille, relief representations, and a narrative that integrates urban space, architecture, and landscape transform the Castle into a space of multisensory knowledge. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>The panels already made<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To date, seven <strong>tactile panels<\/strong> have been installed placed at strategic points in the city: near the San Faustino Metro, at the entrance to the Castle, in the Locomotive Square, on the French Tower and above the gallery on Via Mazzini.<\/p>\n<p>The contents are organized around three macro-themes: the city-castle relationship, the architectural structure of the monumental complex, and the panoramic views from the Cidneo hill. Each panel is conceived as an autonomous element, allowing a complete or thematic fruition, according to <strong>inclusive path<\/strong> logics. <\/p>\n<p>The project is a concrete example of <strong>cultural accessibility<\/strong>, in which inclusive communication goes beyond the oculocentric approach and proposes a multisensory experience based on touch, orientation, and spatial understanding.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1273438474\" class=\"col border-img invert-mobile small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n  <div class=\"banner-grid-wrapper\">\n  <div id=\"banner-grid-1223602719\" class=\"banner-grid row row-grid row-small\" data-packery-options=\"\">\n                      \n\n<div class=\"col grid-col large-7 grid-col-1\" ><div class=\"col-inner\">\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1612968606\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"501\" src=\"https:\/\/citislab.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-04-at-15.52.13-1024x503.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Locomotive Panel - Brescia Castle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/citislab.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-04-at-15.52.13-1024x503.png 1024w, https:\/\/citislab.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-04-at-15.52.13-300x147.png 300w, https:\/\/citislab.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-04-at-15.52.13-768x377.png 768w, https:\/\/citislab.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-04-at-15.52.13-600x295.png 600w, https:\/\/citislab.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-04-at-15.52.13.png 1455w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1612968606 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"col grid-col large-5 grid-col-1\" ><div class=\"col-inner\">\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1633499132\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1015\" height=\"758\" src=\"https:\/\/citislab.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/capitolo-Pannelli-tattili.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"The Locomotive Panel - Brescia Castle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/citislab.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/capitolo-Pannelli-tattili.jpeg 1015w, https:\/\/citislab.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/capitolo-Pannelli-tattili-300x224.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/citislab.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/capitolo-Pannelli-tattili-768x574.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/citislab.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/capitolo-Pannelli-tattili-600x448.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1015px) 100vw, 1015px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1633499132 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n    <style>\n    #banner-grid-1223602719 .grid-col-1{height: 290px}\n    #banner-grid-1223602719 .grid-col-1-2{height: 145px}\n    #banner-grid-1223602719 .grid-col-1-3{height:96.666666666667px}\n    #banner-grid-1223602719 .grid-col-2-3{height: 193.33333333333px}\n    #banner-grid-1223602719 .grid-col-1-4{height: 72.5px}\n    #banner-grid-1223602719 .grid-col-3-4{height: 217.5px}\n\n\n    \n    \n\n  <\/style>\n    <\/div>\n  \n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-880571214\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<h3><strong>The Locomotive for All<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A new installation dedicated to the recently restored historic Locomotive No. 1 is planned for 2026.
