Assisi for the Disabled and Physically challenged

AssisiAccessibile.it is a unique site dedicated to promoting information regarding accessibility for disabled people in Assisi and its surrounding areas in Umbria. The site was created by Renzo Pieri who has first hand experience of being physically challenged in his hometown of Assisi. He decided to create this site to give other people correct and detailed information about existing barriers in the area. He’s also done a useful survey on hotels and restaurants, evaluating how accessible they are to people with various mobility challenges such as people in wheelchairs.
