This is real. It’s located in Giulianova Lido, Italy. IIRC an arts project from a local school and it is meant as a way to “integrate” wheelchairs symbolically as well as practically.

as well as practically. X doubt. This is worse than nothing, because (as a wheelchair user) there’s like 10 inches of clearance behind the chair (given wheel clearance). That back rail means you can’t back up to get yourself in line with your compatriots,so you’ll be in front of and misaligned with the people on either side, such that they’re literally talking behind your back. If this design was in earnest, it’s godawful and just shows the designer had no idea what they were doing. If it’s an art project, then I can appreciate it. If it was meant to be practical, it’s a major fail.
