Herculaneum: culture and inclusion at the Archaeological Park

On 11 May 2026 the Archaeological Park of Herculaneum hosted a dedicated visit within the "Maggio dei Libri 2026" programme. Promoted by the municipality and part of the local reading pact, the event focused on cultural accessibility and active participation.

• Date: 11 May 2026
• Participants: 10 guests from the Multi-Functional Centre for adults with disabilities, accompanied by 3 centre operators and 2 staff from the Civic Library "G. Buonajuto"
• Activities: free entry to the Park, a shared reading inside the archaeological area and a guided tour led by the centre's operators
• Partners: Boetheia Social Cooperative (ONLUS) and the Civic Library

This initiative is part of a broader strategy to promote personal and social autonomy among participants and to enhance local heritage as a shared resource. Practical activities such as readings and guided visits create direct, inclusive access to the site and encourage discovery through participation.

Why it matters: initiatives like this highlight the Archaeological Park’s role beyond tourism—as places for education, community building and social inclusion. Ensuring accessibility to ancient heritage fosters engagement and local identity.
