Photo of Braille-etched Railing at Italian Castle Describing Stunning View Goes Viral

The inscription is carved in both Italian and English and tourists are asked to imagine the stunning view in front of them. The view is of the Tyrrhenian Sea and Italy's Mount Vesuvius.

@baarda Aha, so I assume you hit some โ€œShareโ€ button and it auto filled / posted everything for you? (Donโ€™t take this the wrong way, Iโ€™m just trying to understand how these dupes materialize.)
@2ndNatureDev Kind of. Though some tweaking ia part of it. So it's manual work...
Wow! Thatโ€™s so considerate.
Good that some go out of their way to add some quality to the lives of others.
@baarda Hey Martijn, not sure what happened here but your post seems to be exactly the same as this one https://sfba.social/@muiren/109553227854911956

@aral @baarda I was also wondering why I saw it multiple times today, esp. since the source seems to be a tweet from August 8, 2021. https://mobile.twitter.com/thegallowboob/status/1424467433952145410

โ€œThis railing on gazebo in Naples has braille describing the view for blind people. More of this please.โ€

@baarda It's a great idea until you think about tourists feeding birds.
@baarda Martijn, this is just heart โค๏ธ warming. Thank you for sharing. We need to see more of such initiatives. #Braille
@baarda if blind ppl have never seen the ocean, how is it described to them? how do you effectively describe something w/o any reference point such as color, shape, vastness?
@fritzcokid @baarda The only thing people born totally blind cannot truly conceive is color. Many people try different comparisons to describe it, but we each take something different away from that kind of description. As a blind person, I would describe the ocean like this: Water that seems to go on endlessly. The waves rise and fall just like their sound. Water is defined by the landmasses that shape it, so that can be felt on a tactile map.
@baarda Iโ€™d be very interested to hear from an actual blind person on how they feel about thisโ€ฆ
@todger @baarda I'd say I feel fine about it. Having not been able to read the description, I'm not sure how useful it is, but it's a neat idea.
@renfro92w @baarda Cool, thatโ€™s good. Sometimes you see things like this and nobodyโ€™s asked the actual people itโ€™s aimed at what they thinkโ€ฆ
@baarda @raccoon_brained What's the name of the castle? I've a blind friend currently visiting Italy, and I'd love to tell her about it.
@renfro92w from various comments on the post, this seems to be Castel Sant'Elmo in Naples.
