Felice's situation in Milan
Felice, un uomo di 65 anni, vive in una casa popolare di 30 metri quadri a Niguarda, Milano. Da dieci mesi, la sua vita è segnata dall’isolamento, costretto a rimanere intrappolato nella sua abitazione a causa dell’assenza di un ascensore. Malato di Parkinson e costretto a utilizzare una sedia a rotelle, Felice ha visto la sua libertà ridotta a zero.
La sua casa, un tempo rifugio, è diventata una prigione.
A desperate appeal to the institutions
Recently, Felice decided to make his voice heard again, launching an appeal to the Municipality of Milan through the microphones of Tg4. “I can’t live anymore,” he declared, expressing his frustration and desire for a dignified life. This cry for help has not gone unnoticed: in the past, a private citizen had responded to his first appeal, providing him with a wheelchair. However, Felice knows that to improve his condition, a concrete response from the institutions is necessary.
Architectural barriers and the rights of disabled people
Felice's situation is not an isolated case. In many Italian cities, architectural barriers continue to represent an insurmountable obstacle for people with disabilities. According to statistics, over 20% of the Italian population lives with some form of disability, yet the accessibility of public and private buildings is still insufficient. Institutions must become aware of this reality and implement effective policies to guarantee the rights of all citizens, regardless of their physical conditions.
Felice's Future and the Hope for Change
Felice does not give up. His story is a symbol of the fight for accessibility and the rights of people with disabilities. Through his appeal, he hopes to raise public awareness and push local authorities to take action. His life, like that of many others, depends on the ability of institutions to listen and respond to the needs of citizens. Felice's hope is that, one day, he will be able to live freely again, without the limitations imposed by architectural barriers.
