Italian Accessibility Advocate Daniele Ambrogio Calls for Barrier‑Free Cities

A technical guide outlines how to identify and remove architectural barriers in Italian buildings and public spaces. It describes physical, functional and communicative obstacles, cites national regulations such as D.M. 236/1989, law 13/1989 and law 104/1992, and highlights BIM‑based design tools that can generate required documentation for barrier‑free projects.

In an interview, activist Daniele Ambrogio argues that accessibility is a right, not a privilege. He criticises Rome for its limited accessibility—frequent elevator outages in metro stations, inaccessible pedestrian signals, and lack of tactile pathways—and calls for comprehensive reforms. Ambrogio, a member of the Lega party, discusses his political involvement, experiences of online harassment, and his vision of inclusive public services.
