From my seat on the steps, I can see a young woman with crutches struggling to make it up the same steps. There is an older woman standing safely beside the young woman, there to support her if she were to lose her footing on the cracked and uneven steps. They, like the two men with the dolly, do everything to avoid the spaces in which there are such cracks. The province of Perugia is filled with cobblestone roads, steep hills, narrow alley ways through which cars often squeeze through, and of course many, many staircases. The structure of this beautiful place leads me to wonder, how accessible is Perugia to people with physical disabilities? Is there a need and ultimately a possibility for change in the city? The textures of the ground have not limited them all in satisfying their desires for a cold, rich, and refreshing scoop of gelato or freshly baked slice of pizza. They can squeeze through the small and compact shops and alleyways. A person with a physical disability however, may be able to smell, hear, and see the same things as an able-bodied person, and yet their ability to act on their desires is limited, both because of their disability and due to the architectural structure of this ancient city.
