Tourists are encouraged to feel the letters wherein they run their hands on the railing. Those who understand Braille script can read verses from Italian author Giuseppe de Lorenzo's 'La terra e l'uomo'.
Internet is another world that never fails to amaze us. It does put a lot of things and videos into the spotlight. Recently, a photo of a railing in a castle in Italy has gone viral and do you know the reason why it's gaining much appreciation on the internet? It is because a poetic description of the view is written in Braille.
Castel Sant'Elmo, is a popular tourist spot situated on top of the hill and overlooks the Italian city of Naples. Many tourists walk to the top of the castle, and now it is known for another good reason. A 92-foot-long piece of stainless steel is attached to the castle's wall fence, which describes the view in Braille.

— Rob N Roll (@thegallowboob)Tourists are encouraged to feel the letters wherein they run their hands on the railing. Those who understand Braille script can read verses from Italian author Giuseppe de Lorenzo's 'La terra e l'uomo'. The inscription is carved in Italian and English. While touching the bar, tourists are asked to imagine the stunning view in front of them.
In 2015, the uniques railing was installed by artist Paolo Puddu, and it had won the fifth edition of the 'A Work For the Castle' contest.
This is absolutely phenomenal. Is there anywhere you can find out more about it?
