FONDAZIONE FESTIVAL DEI DUE MONDI ONLUS - Via Vaita Sant'Andrea, 10 - 06049 Spoleto (PG), Italy with CF 93002030547, undertakes to make its website accessible, in compliance with the principles of equality, inclusion and non-discrimination enshrined in Legislative Decree no. 82 of 27 May 2022.
This accessibility statement applies to the website https://www.festivaldispoleto.com/ and is intended to provide a clear and transparent overview of the level of accessibility of the digital service, highlighting any critical issues and the interventions planned for continuous improvement.
The document is drawn up in accordance with Annex IV of Legislative Decree no. 82 of 27 May 2022, which implements Directive (EU) 2019/882 on the accessibility of products and services. The evaluation is conducted according to the criteria established by the technical standard UNI CEI EN 301549:2020, which incorporates the WCAG 2.1 guidelines (levels A and AA).
For each requirement, it is indicated if the site is compliant, not compliant, partially compliant, or if the criterion is not applicable.
The areas analyzed concern the four fundamental principles of accessibility: Perceivable, useable, Understandable and Robust.
This document shows, for each accessibility requirement, the state of adaptation of the site and, where necessary, the related explanations. In cases where a requirement is not fully satisfied or is only partially satisfied, timely information is provided to allow the user to understand the nature of the critical issue. The site undertakes to intervene progressively to ensure full compliance with regulatory requirements.
The information and components of the user interface must be presented in a form that can be perceived by all users, regardless of sensory abilities.
This means, for example, providing textual descriptions for images, subtitles for videos and organizing contents in such a way as to facilitate their reading and understanding, even with assistive technologies.
The Site provides alternative texts for all non-text content, such as images, icons and graphic buttons. This ensures that the information is also accessible to users who use assistive technologies, in accordance with WCAG 2.1 policy relating to the text alternative.
There are two types of videos on the Site:
Spoken video
Spoken videos are embedded from YouTube and make synchronized captions and automatic transcriptions available through YouTube features. To consult the transcript, it is necessary to open the video on YouTube from the player.
In relation to WCAG 2.1 requirements:
— 1.2.2 Subtitles (pre-recorded): satisfied with videos with speech (through YouTube subtitles).
— 1.2.3 and 1.2.5 Audio description (pre-recorded): not provided, so the requirements are not met.
Music videos (without speech)
Some videos are musical content without speech. For this type, there are no transcripts or audio descriptions.
Live content
The Site does not transmit live audio or video content; therefore requirement 1.2.4 Subtitles (live) does not apply.
The Site correctly uses semantic structures to represent the relationships between the contents. This allows users, including those who use assistive technologies, to clearly understand the logical structure of the information, in compliance with requirement 1.3.1 Information and Reports of WCAG 2.1.
The order of the contents of the Site is structured in such a way as to maintain the meaning even without a visual layout. This ensures that users, including those using assistive technologies, can correctly understand the information presented, in accordance with requirement 1.3.2 Significant sequence of WCAG 2.1.
The instructions for interacting with the contents of the Site are not based solely on visual or sensory indications. This ensures that all people, including those with visual or cognitive disabilities, can understand and use the features correctly, in accordance with requirement 1.3.3 Sensory characteristics of WCAG 2.1.
The Site supports both horizontal and vertical screen orientations. This allows users to access content regardless of how they hold the device, in accordance with requirement 1.3.4 Orientation of WCAG 2.1.
The input fields on the Site are identified semantically in order to clearly indicate their purpose. This allows users and assistive technologies to understand and use forms correctly, in accordance with requirement 1.3.5 Identifying the purpose of WCAG 2.1 input fields.
The information provided on the Site is not transmitted exclusively through the use of color. There are additional indicators that allow users to understand the content even in the absence of color perception, in accordance with requirement 1.4.1 Use of color in WCAG 2.1.
Any audio content started automatically on the Site can be stopped, paused or deactivated within 3 seconds. This ensures compliance with WCAG 2.1 audio control requirement 1.4.2, making it easier for all users to enjoy.
The contrast between the text and the background of the Site respects the minimum values set out in requirement 1.4.3 Contrast (minimum) of WCAG 2.1, ensuring a clear and accessible reading even for users with visual disabilities.
The text on the Site can be enlarged up to 200% without loss of content or functionality, in accordance with requirement 1.4.4 Text scaling of WCAG 2.1.
The text on the Site is presented as real text and not as an image, in accordance with requirement 1.4.5 Text in the form of an image of WCAG 2.1.
The content of the Site adapts correctly to the different screen sizes without requiring horizontal scrolling, ensuring accessible use even from mobile devices. Therefore, requirement 1.4.10 Readaptation of WCAG 2.1 is complied with.
The relevant non-text graphic contents on the Site are characterized by sufficient contrast with respect to adjacent elements, in accordance with requirement 1.4.11 Non-text contrast of WCAG 2.1.
The text of the Site is displayed correctly even when the user applies customized spacing settings, in accordance with requirement 1.4.12 Text Spacing of WCAG 2.1.
The contents activated by hover or keyboard focus on the Site are displayed in a stable manner, can be managed by the user and can be easily deactivated. The requirement 1.4.13 Content when the pointer is passed or the focus of WCAG 2.1 is satisfied.
The interface must be usable by all people, even those who cannot use a mouse or traditional input devices.
It is essential to guarantee keyboard access, provide clear and stable browsing modes, avoid content that may cause disorientation or adverse reactions, and offer control modes for possible time limits.
All the features of the Site can be used using a keyboard, without requiring interaction only with a mouse or touch. Therefore, the WCAG 2.1 Keyboard requirement 2.1.1 is satisfied.
The Site meets requirement 2.1.2 No keyboard trapping of WCAG 2.1. Keyboard navigation is always possible and there are no situations where the user gets stuck in a component of the interface.
The Site does not meet requirement 2.1.4 Shortcut keys of WCAG 2.1. Some key combinations interfere with keyboard navigation or the use of assistive technologies, making the interaction less accessible.
The Site does not have features that impose time limits for compilation, navigation or interaction. Therefore, requirement 2.2.1 of WCAG 2.1 relating to the regulation of execution times does not apply.
The Site allows the user to pause, stop or hide elements that move, flash or scroll automatically. This meets requirement 2.2.2 of WCAG 2.1.
The Site does not have content that blinks more than three times per second. Requirement 2.3.1 of WCAG 2.1 is complied with.
The Site does not offer functionality to skip repetitive blocks. Therefore, Criterion 2.4.1 of WCAG 2.1 is not respected.
Each page of the Site has a descriptive title consistent with the contents. Criterion 2.4.2 of WCAG 2.1 is therefore satisfied.
The keyboard navigation order is logical and follows the visual structure of the page. The requirement set out in the WCAG 2.4.3 (Order of Focus) criterion is met.
All links on the Site have a clear and understandable purpose even when read out of context. Therefore, the requirement set out in WCAG policy 2.4.4 (Purpose of the link - in context) is satisfied.
Some sections offer different ways to access information, while others do not. The requirement of WCAG Policy 2.4.5 (Multiple Modes) is only partially met.
The headings and labels on the Site are structured in such a way as to clearly describe the content or function of the related elements. Therefore, the requirement of WCAG Policy 2.4.6 (Headers and Labels) is satisfied.
When navigating from the keyboard, the focus is always visible and allows you to clearly identify the active element. The Site complies with WCAG 2.4.7 (Visible Focus).
All the features of the Site can be accessed using simple pointer movements, such as single clicks or touches. No complex gestures, such as dragging or combinations of movements, are required to activate content or functions. The Site therefore complies with the WCAG 2.5.1 (Pointer Management) policy.
Some elements of the Site are activated immediately at the first touch or click, without waiting for release and without offering the user the opportunity to cancel or confirm the action. Therefore, the Site only partially complies with the WCAG 2.5.2 (Cancellable) criterion.
The accessible name (used by screen readers and other assistive technologies) corresponds to the visible text of the element. In this way, those who use voice commands or reading tools can interact correctly with the content. The site therefore complies with the WCAG 2.5.3 (Label in the name) policy.
The site does not provide features that are activated through the physical movement of the device, such as shaking or rotation. Therefore, the requirement for WCAG Policy 2.5.4 (Activation by Motion) does not apply.
The contents and mechanisms of interaction must be clear and understandable for everyone.
This involves the use of simple language, the indication of the language of the page, the consistency of labels and actions, and effective support in filling out forms and identifying errors.
The main language of the Site is correctly stated in the code. Therefore, the requirement set out in the WCAG 3.1.1 (Page Language) criterion is met.
The sections of the Site written in a language other than the main one are correctly marked in the code, in accordance with WCAG 3.1.2 Language of the parties.
No content on the Site automatically changes state upon receipt of keyboard focus. Therefore, the WCAG 3.2.1 Al focus criterion is satisfied.
When a user enters data or selects an option, the Site does not change pages, does not open windows or modify the content automatically. Everything happens only if the user decides. This complies with WCAG 3.2.2 At the input.
Recurrent elements, such as headers, menus and footers, maintain a consistent position and structure on all pages of the Site, making it easier for the user to navigate. (WCAG Policy 2.1 — 3.2.3 Consistent Navigation)
The elements that perform the same function on different pages of the Site (for example, buttons or links with the same action) are identified with consistent labels or names. This ensures that users can easily recognize them and use them without confusion. (WCAG Policy 2.1 — 3.2.4 Consistent identification)
When the user fills out a form on the Site (for example for sending a request or registering), any errors are clearly reported. It indicates which fields contain errors and what the problem is, so as to allow the user to easily correct it. (WCAG Policy 2.1 — 3.3.1 Identifying errors)
All input fields on the Site are accompanied by labels or instructions that clarify their function, in order to support the user in filling out. (WCAG Policy 2.1 — 3.3.2 Labels or Instructions)
When a user fills out a form and makes a mistake (for example, forgets to enter mandatory data or enters a wrong format), the Site displays a message that clearly explains what the problem is and how to solve it. This helps the user to correct the error without confusion. (WCAG Policy 2.1 — 3.3.3 Error Correction Tips)
The Site does not require critical operations, such as sending data, activating contracts or binding transactions for the user. Therefore, the requirement to be able to review, confirm or cancel these transactions does not apply. (WCAG Policy 2.1 — 3.3.4 Error Prevention)
Digital content must be developed in a robust way, i.e. compatible with a wide range of browsers, devices and assistive technologies.
A properly structured code allows safe and reliable use, ensuring that the functionalities are recognized and usable by all users, including those who use screen readers or other accessibility tools.
The source code of the Site (including HTML) is properly structured and has no syntax errors that could compromise reading by assistive technologies. All elements are nested, closed and declared in accordance with specifications. The WCAG 4.1.1 (Parsing) requirement is met.
All interactive elements of the Site are correctly identified in terms of name, role and value, as required by WCAG 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value). This allows assistive technologies to correctly interpret and communicate the function and state of each component.
The Site meets the WCAG 4.1.3 (Status Messages) criterion. Notifications and messages that inform the user about changes in the state of the interface, such as confirmation of sending or error messages, are made accessible to assistive technologies (e.g. screen readers) without requiring the user to move the focus.
This statement is prepared on the basis of a self-assessment conducted in accordance with current legislation and is subject to periodic review, in particular in the case of significant changes to the site or regulatory updates. The owner of the site undertakes to guarantee fair and inclusive access to its digital content and invites users to report any difficulties or suggestions by writing to info@festivaldispoleto.it , in order to continuously improve the accessibility of the site itself.
