The research presented here represents an 'experiment' in the application of the methodology of the Accessibility Plan to the monumental complex of the Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence. The goal of the research is to attempt to increase the degree of accessibility of the complex through an innovative medium and long-term strategic planning tool that takes into consideration not only tangible aspects (physical and sensory accessibility) but also intangible aspects, thus enabling people to fully visit and understand the cultural significance of the locations, with a focus on the experiential aspect of the visit. In other words, the ultimate objective of the research presented here is to identify ways to enhance the usability and accessibility conditions of the spaces within the monumental complex of the Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore, harmonizing the requirements of heritage preservation with those of accessibility.
