Within the framework of the PRIN 2022 EX-IN_AccessiBILITY project, the contribution provides an analysis of themes concerning accessibility and enhancement of religious heritage in the Sanità district of Naples. Since its inception, the district has undergone significant instances of ‘reuse,’ shaping both its urban development and historical narrative. In this context, the Santa Maria della Sanità complex stands out as a best practice model in promoting processes for the recovery and valorization of Cultural Heritage, serving as a significant case study. The study focuses on the Belvedere, situated in the upper levels of the convent, where relations with the convent structures ceased following the secularization of ecclesiastical assets. Delving into the reconstruction of the complex’s original config. tion, the article presents the outcomes of initial investigations into its spaces, now housing the Ariello’s typography. Within this framework, drawing methodologies emerge as indispensable tools for communicating knowledge about inaccessible spaces, integrating innovative strategies for experiencing heritage that encompass both physical and virtual accessibility. This approach fosters a dynamic reconciliation between past and present, enabling critical reflection on potential opportunities for the reappropriation and valorization of culturally significant spaces, long inaccessible.

Abstract
Within the framework of the PRIN 2022 EX-IN_AccessiBILITY project, the contribution provides an analysis of themes concerning accessibility and enhancement of religious heritage in the Sanità district of Naples. Since its inception, the district has undergone significant instances of ‘reuse,’ shaping both its urban development and historical narrative. In this context, the Santa Maria della Sanità complex stands out as a best practice model in promoting processes for the recovery and valorization of Cultural Heritage, serving as a significant case study. The study focuses on the Belvedere, situated in the upper levels of the convent, where relations with the convent structures ceased following the secularization of ecclesiastical assets. Delving into the reconstruction of the complex’s original config. tion, the article presents the outcomes of initial investigations into its spaces, now housing the Ariello’s typography. Within this framework, drawing methodologies emerge as indispensable tools for communicating knowledge about inaccessible spaces, integrating innovative strategies for experiencing heritage that encompass both physical and virtual accessibility. This approach fosters a dynamic reconciliation between past and present, enabling critical reflection on potential opportunities for the reappropriation and valorization of culturally significant spaces, long inaccessible.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
