Giotto’s Bakery has won some of Italy’s top culinary prizes for its artisanal panettone, created through a process that honors centuries of tradition. But those making this sweet bread, a favorite during the holidays, are doing so behind the walls of the Due Palazzi prison, on the outskirts of Padua. Correspondent Seth Doane reports.

Such a baby face. Hope the prisoner finds some redemption 🙏🏻
I think this is an amazing concept and the panettone looks delicious too!
Buon Natale
I really like this concept.
Oy!! I found chunks of Jimmy Hoffa in my panettone!!!
never migrate to italy it offers nothing but underground illegal work for immigrants that cannot find any work then ends up in jail..with such short time since italy opened its immigration most prisoners has high percent of jail immigrant and only 5 percent of immigrant graduates ..the only good thing is the pasta and dry pizza.
Such a "sweet" story. Great way to help someone become a much better person.
We need to do better by our prisoners to find a future endeavour, so many of them didn't have a fair shot to start with.
we have a huge elderly population of prisoners we need to find a new solution for
I think the American analogue to this is Homeboy Bakery in Los Angeles with Greg Boyle SJ
"Turning a problem into a resource" well ain't that somethin'
I wish I had one of these in lemon….
It's great to make french toast or bread pudding. I prepared it for breakfast on Christmas Eve day. Drizzle warm syrup over it yummy.
Bon Natale
We need more programs like this in prisons in the US and in communities where kids can’t imagine their futures, so they don’t commit crimes in the first place.
In Europe, prison is all about reform and rehabilitation. In America, prison is all about punishment and cruelty
what a great idea
Pan D’Oro is so, so good! I have a special Panettone I need to cut.👍🏻💋💋🫶🏻
Structure responsibility, without it, chaos, at any age.
There is a lot of talent locked up. Give them something to do with all the time they are given.
I love the Italy stories. I think this demonstrates that a stable community with jobs that support our needs and some wants keeps it safer. Wishing them the best.
I love this story. Is panettone more like a bread or a cake? I must know!
I have never eaten Panettone, but I would like to try one. This is a great story.
Bless you for opening your heart and business to these guys .
Gotta eat some gabagool and bake some panettone.
What a great idea!!!♥️♥️♥️
God Bless these men who are trying to help these people!!♥️
I work at Panera. Bakery work is very zen & very satisfying. Bravissimo gentlemen.
This is such a great story! Giving people skills and pride in their work and ultimately themselves. It would be so great if these opportunities were given to young people before they ever did something that landed them in prison.
Thank you for inspiring the inmates!
Where can I buy one?
I was trying to buy one but they stopped selling it in safeway and now im jealous haha
I cannot have Christmas with out m Paneton—- from Peru ! yes it comes from Italy but it migrated to our country and we love it
I tried panettone, was surprised I didn't care for it . I'd eat it but, wouldn't buy it.
Thank you.♥️
How much are the prisoners getting paid?
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
All prisons in the world should do this. In California some prisoners become fire fighters. Amazing
Great story. What better way to rehabilitate the convicted than by teaching them a useful skill which feeds a community and turns a profit. Love to see it.
p.s. panettone is now a bucket list item. That thing looks too delicious.
This is something I dream to see in the United States. A country that focuses on educating their citizens instead of punishing them is a great country. Good for 🇮🇹 Italy!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
True prisoner reform ❤
yes, the US needs to try this
I'm burning up.with anger right now.
Awesome story, I’ve never had this bread but I’ll definitely try it now. Thanks for sharing ❤
I like the program & intent over the panettone, tried one I got from fry's electronics years ago, not impressed.
This is fancy prison labor. What rights do the inmates have? What are they paid, especially compared to market wages? How do other bakeries (firms) compete?
This is a cool program. Panettone is also a staple in Peru.
Seth Doane pronounces "Giotto" flawlessly.
🤢
Changes my thinking. I thought they made license plates in prison. I had to edit. I should have known this wasn’t in the US.
wow..yes more more programs…
