The pages have been programmed to consider, first and foremost, how the site can be navigated using digital reading tools. In writing the HTML code, special attention was paid to the hierarchy of headings and the logical sequence of links on each page.

To facilitate the identification of menus, special anchors were introduced in the HTML code at the beginning of the corresponding lists of links. These anchors are accompanied by headers that define their role and assist navigation by voice readers. The anchors are called from special menus that allow the user to quickly reach the areas of the page most important for navigation purposes. This provides an opportunity for users navigating via assistive technologies to avoid wasting time when searching for specific information.

The site does not use HTML layout techniques based on frames (or framesets) or tables (table tags) for the purpose of achieving specific displays in the form of columns. HTML tags related to the display of tabular data are used solely and exclusively for the specific purpose for which they were designed. Planned markup and attributes were used when displaying tabular data to describe the contents and identify row and column headings.

Generally, images and nontextual objects that convey useful information are accompanied by valid textual alternatives according to the specific logic in the context of use.
There are no information elements conveyed solely and exclusively through color choices or images. For example, indications such as"link at the top,""click the link below,""click the red link" have been avoided.

Both layout and content do not include animated images or animations that are not strictly necessary and in any case never accompanied by elements with intermittent visibility.

In general, special attention has been paid to text/background contrast, avoiding juxtapositions that fatigue or make reading impossible. Specific solutions have been designed for the visually impaired.

A sample check through the W3C validator testifies to the use of specific centralized CSS that cover formatting requirements also relative to the content of internal pages so as to avoid introducing inline CSS (directly into the content). These centralized CSS can be deactivated at any time, leaving the ability to enjoy the content regardless of how it is presented.

The entire site can be navigated with images and style sheets disabled either through the appropriate browser configuration or by using the specific function that can be activated with the "Text Only" button.

This function is specifically designed to extend the benefits of style-free reading to all pages of the site during the same session, thus without having to reuse the appropriate commands at each page change.

The liquid layout of the site's content allows it to be enjoyed in any situation where the browser window is resized. Likewise, enlargements and reductions in the area of visibility due to the use of specific devices do not affect the ability to consult the content.

A sample check confirms that data entry or information search forms (forms), explicitly associate labels with their respective controls, positioning them in such a way that it is facilitated the completion of the fields by those using assistive technologies. To verify this, form-filling tests were conducted with the JAWS screen reader.

All scripts used on the site can be deactivated without loss of information or functionality on the part of the user.

All hyperlinks make the destination explicit with meaningful text even when read independently of one's context. This facilitates the reading of the page through assistive technologies that allow easy navigation for users who prefer to consult the links within the page first.

To avoid reading repetitive or uninteresting sequences of links if they are not contextualized for the purpose of understanding the meaning of the page, special menus have been introduced that allow users to skip content to directly reach the links that are most meaningful for the purpose of navigating the page.

An additional measure that facilitates and speeds up navigation is the implementation of accesskeys, special keyboard shortcut keys programmed for selected links.
On all pages of the site, each link has been made by implementing pure HTML without scripts that temporarily manage or hide content: this means that through tabs and keyboard spacing, all links are reachable and selectable. The same is true for form fields.
