ABOUT US<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2013, La Girobussola APS is a pioneering association in the field of cultural accessibility, with a specific focus on visual impairment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year, dozens of our members actively take part in and benefit from our efforts to overcome sensory barriers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our goal is to transform the experience of cultural heritage, still too often primarily visual, into an increasingly inclusive and accessible one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Girobussola APS is a member of ARCI association network and and partners with Viaggiemiraggi to deliver inclusive and responsible tourism experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
