Since last winter in Santa Maria delle Grazie church we can admire the copy of last supper for blind people, and shortly we will be able to admire also an other masterpiece: Botticelli's Venus. From this wonderful idea to introduce to a new world even the blind people, I decided to realize a photoreportage that show the technics used to built and new didactic method to blind people. My reportage shows up the stage of developement and production through different stage how blind people with the Braille code can are able to read and learn like everybody else can understand the masterpiece. So as the normal person is necessary to follow step by step the comprension of dante's masterpiece, such as for blind person is necessary a gradual improvement of Braille code. In the reportage are visibles tables in rilief for primary school, or pre school books, up to more complex shapes like Scala Theatre or Castello Sforzesco. The images show the three most important steps for production starting from the drawing, created with computer or gave from designers, to arrive at produce the tables through wood's shapes used like mould.
