It is about a wooden handrail along a path:
Un manicotto sul passamano indica la presenza di un leggio con pannelli in braille.

tactile indicator
I guess it's a sleeve of some sort in a different material. Tactile indicator will give the sense without actually saying what it is.
Tactile indicators
Although not included in Building Regulation guidance,
tactile indicators can help to make a building more
‘inclusive’. When incorporated into handrails, they can
indicate to a visually impaired person the presence of
the first and last risers on a staircase, as well as floor
levels.
