This unique railing was installed by artist Paolo Puddu in 2015 and was titled, ‘Follow the Shape.’

Since 2017,  it has been a permanent fixture at the castle. The art had won the fifth edition of the ‘A Work For the Castle’ contest.

Ones who can read the Braille script can ‘follow the shape’ on the railing to read the verses from Italian author Giuseppe de Lorenzo’s ‘La terra e l’uomo’ or the ‘The Land and the Man’.
