Hi All,
My family and I are taking a five day trip to Rome, Has anybody been there from a blindness perspective, are there any accessible atractions and places we should visit? Also are there any italian learning textbooks? I've looked everywhere but I've found nothing.

How are attractions acessible or not accessible from a blindness perspective? I certainly understand being rather bored in an art museum, for instance.
Just curious, as I have not heard of this.

That's what I mean, no braille, no touching, no audio, glass cases, bored in art meuseum. That's what I mean.

Hey Matt. That sounds like it will be a fantastic trip! I'd love to go to Italy someday. I have some basic Italian audio material. Drop me an e mail and I'll get it to you.

Thanks for the info Cameron, but I already have my basic Italian of where, and how, and why. Thanks again for offering the material. I'm leaving for Rome tomorrow, I'm so excited. I hope you will get to visit Italy some day.
