"A brief well-known story," begins bitterly Stefania Calvisi, disabled and activist for the rights of people with disabilities, in her comment under the photo of the stairlift at the Nuoro Central Post Office, in Piazza Crispi. An image that speaks for itself: in front of the main staircase, the stairlift for people with disabilities is present, but completely fenced off by a red and white ribbon. Useless, inaccessible.
"I was expecting something new, but definitely not this," Calvisi writes. The disappointment is even stronger if one considers that the complaint comes after a television report aired last February , in which Calvisi herself had already raised the problem of the inaccessibility of the Post Office's headquarters.
"Maybe a communication to the community wouldn't have been bad, maybe because we're talking about the Central Post Office of Nuoro, a public place," he adds. A place where every citizen, regardless of their physical condition, should be able to access freely .
"If I had gone there with all this effort today - she continues in the post - I would have found the fence all around. But I ask myself... why????" The question is simple, and the comment ends with a significant hashtag: #civoglionoultimimanoinonsiamodaccordo, to underline a growing frustration for an inclusivity that is still only in words .
The case reopens a fundamental issue: the accessibility of public spaces. A question of rights, dignity and respect.
