An artisanal pastry shop, a social project! Over fifteen years ago, the Pasticceria Giotto project was born – a challenge. Today, it's a reality: a professional pastry workshop within a prison that produces artisanal sweets with the precision that high pastry demands. In 2005, they brought the pastry workshop to the Due Palazzi prison in Padova to work side by side with inmates. To this day, over 200 individuals have been guided through a training and professionalization journey in the art of pastry and more. It's a unique project where taste meets solidarity. The Padova Prison Pastry Shop, which operates within the Due Palazzi Correctional Facility, is both a craft and life school. Since 2005, it has provided numerous opportunities, visits, and events that show the affection of institutions, the public, and industry critics. It also represents the everyday reality of genuine work that offers the chance for change every day, together. The main objective is for prison work to serve as a bridge between the outside world and the inside, a concrete rehabilitative tool, a place to test oneself before returning to society. Work normalizes tensions, fosters a positive outlook for the future, and breaks physical and mental routines. This translates into cost savings on medical and disciplinary measures and fuels a virtuous process that results in a reduction in the recidivism rate, meaning the likelihood of reoffending after serving a sentence.
