Thiene and the Surrounding Area

Thiene Castle is located in the heart of the city of Thiene, an ancient Roman-founded city just a few kilometres away from Vicenza. The historical centre surrounding it is a traffic-restricted zone, making it the perfect place to enjoy walks, shopping or a drink while admiring historical buildings that showcase the history of the city.

    La guida del Castello in Comunicazione Aumentativa Alternativa

    Raccontiamo il Castello in modo chiaro, comprensibile e accessibile a tutti. La Regione del Veneto ha realizzato una serie di guide in C.A.A. (Comunicazione Aumentativa Alternativa), per permettere a ogni visitatore di godere di un patrimonio unico come quello delle ville venete e dei siti culturali, attraverso informazioni chiare e narrazioni semplici. Tre codici di comunicazione - immagini, parole e simboli - si integrano con armonia.

    Nella guida C.A.A. troviamo:

    • foto, per raccontare ciò che si trova nel Castello,
    • testi, di facile lettura e adatti a persone con lieve dislessia,
    • simboli Widgit Literacy Symbols – pittogrammi (noti come Rebus).

    Una brochure per tutti, un valido compagno di viaggio utile a bambini con Disturbi Specifici dell'Apprendimento, con difficoltà cognitive o che ancora non hanno acquisito la capacità di letto-scrittura, per ragazzi e adulti di madrelingua non italiana, per persone con disabilità cognitiva e con autismo, ma anche per persone anziane e straniere che necessitano una lettura facile.

    L'iniziativa è finanziata dalla Direzione Turismo della Regione del Veneto con l'obiettivo di rafforzare l’inclusività e l’accessibilità dell’esperienza di viaggio, per tutti.

    La guida C.A.A. è disponibile in formato cartaceo presso il Castello di Thiene e in pdf a questo link.
