Blind Sculptor who thinks everyone should touch art

A blind Italian sculptor thinks people should have the right to touch art, though most exhibitions forbid it.

Felice Tagliaferri has a personal motto: "you are forbidden not to touch". It's about making art inclusive to everyone through the use of all five senses and stems from an incident which started a mini revolution.
