HOW TO VISIT MURA VIVE

There are three different modes of use, independent one from the others, but complementary:

• Historical environmental narratives , projected directly on the walls inside the casemates and the gates, lasting 20/25 minutes (currently scheduled in the stations of Porta Savonarola, Torrione Alicorno and, in a reduced form, Porta Liviana). More details on the info pages of each station.

• Educational in-depth videos lasting between 3 and 8 minutes, in variable numbers for each station. The workstations are located at the beginning or at the end of the visit path, depending on the stations.

• A mobile app to assist the visit, to be downloaded to your device using a QR code before the start of the visit and to be used at the end of the environmental projection, where present, to visit the interior and, once exiting, to continue the visit outside each gate or bastion.

In addition, at the Porta Codalunga station you will be able to see the gate that no longer exists "in its place" thanks to augmented reality, on tablets that will be available asking to the Mura Vive volunteers.

For more information about the specific characteristics of each station, please refer to the relevant description, accessible from the index above or from the WHERE IT IS page.

FURTHER USEFUL INFORMATION

Foreign visitors
English dubbing on headphones is provided for the narrative installations. Headphones are available free of charge at the reception desk.
Educational videos are captioned in English, and the mobile app offers choice between Italian and English.

Hearing impaired visitors
Dubbing in sign language (Italian version only) is available, on tablets supplied by Mura Vive free of charge. Please ask the reception desk.

Accessibility
The MURA VIVE stations do not present any particular access difficulties, but all visitors are advised to wear comfortable shoes, avoiding in particular shoes and sandals with high heels, and to have on hand a jacket or pullover when visiting the bastions, as they may be fairly cool even in the summer. In any case, it is recommended that any specific difficulties be reported in advance to the staff, who will be able to indicate the appropriate precautions.

Disabled visitors
All the premises are accessible to wheelchairs for the disabled, with some limitations that do not affect the quality and completeness of the visit.
At Torrione Alicorno two of the casemates have non-stabilized gravel flooring and this could make it difficult to move autonomously: it is therefore advisable to be accompanied by a person who can provide the necessary help.
The MURA VIVE staff will be available to make the visit as smooth and complete as possible.

Covid-19 health restrictions
All anti Covid-19 health provisions in force at the time of the visit will be respected. Visitors are in turn invited to respect them scrupulously following staff suggestions.

Pets
Pets are not allowed.

mura vive staff

The staff of MURA VIVE is entirely made up of VOLUNTEERS, who lend their time for free: we invite visitors to keep this in mind, following their instructions and collaborating with them, especially in case of problems or difficulties.
Without the contribution of volunteers, a complex and articulated structure such as MURA VIVE would have unsustainable management costs. If it exists, it is thanks to them.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS

Anyone interested in contributing to the MURA VIVE project as a volunteer
may contact the secretary by writing to info@muradipadova.it.
