What does World Braille Day celebrate? The birth of Louis Braille.

He is the inventor of braille which, is a method for enabling people who are blind or partially sighted to be able to read. Braille enables people who have different vision profiles to participate fully in life. From enabling people to read books to allowing them to interact with art! The Castle Sant’Elmo is a popular tourist attraction that uses braille to beautifully describe the fortress lookout which sits on top of the Italian city of Napoli.
