Italy is the country with the highest number of sites recognised as World Heritage by UNESCO and one of the nations with the highest density of sites of cultural interest both in Europe and in the world. Unfortunately, only a small part of these are completely and easily accessible, and certain of the most fragile sections of society, for example disabled persons, are in fact excluded from the possibility of visiting and discovering the said places. 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, in other words the attempt to increase the degree of accessibility of the complex through a medium and long-term innovative strategic planning tool that takes into consideration not only material aspects (physical and sensory accessibility) but also aspects of an intangible nature, thus making it possible for people to fully understand the cultural meanings of the places, and focusing on the "experiential dimension of the visit" [1].
意大利是被联合国教科文组织认定的世界遗产地数量最多的国家，也是欧洲乃至世界上文化遗产地密度最高的国家之一。不幸的是，这些遗产地中只有一小部分是完全和容易到达的，而且某些最脆弱的社会群体，例如残疾人，实际上被排除在参观和发现这些地方的可能性之外。这里呈现的研究代表了将可达性计划方法应用于佛罗伦萨圣母百花大教堂建筑群这一“实验”，换句话说，试图通过一种中短期的创新战略规划工具来提高建筑群的可达性程度，该工具不仅考虑了物质方面（物理和感官可达性），还考虑了无形性质的方面，从而使人们能够充分理解这些地方的文化意义，并侧重于“参观的体验维度”[1]。
