tante cose buone

Discover the stories and products of some of the many projects supported by Fondazione San Zeno.

pantarei

Work as care. As an opportunity to find one's place in the world. Feeling useful makes one feel good. Everyone, even more so people left on the margins, even because of mental distress. Pantarei is a cooperative with a restaurant, a hotel, a bar, a laundry. But also a workshop that transforms food surpluses into jams, preserves, sauces (the Invasà) and an oven in the Montorio Veronese Prison that prepares bread, biscuits, cakes (such as panettone and Christmas products by Pasta d'uomo).

reverse

How much distance can there be between an interior design studio and a prison? I think 'a lot' is the first answer that comes to mind. But the one told by Reverse is a story of distances cut. Shortened. Brought closer. Reverse is a Veronese project of architecture and craftsmanship with a low environmental impact. Even inside the prison.

arcolaio

Delicacies of Sicily made with the excellence of the territory. Almonds, citrus fruits, spices. In the Syracuse Prison to enhance diversity with a workshop involving more than 250 people. "Even one of these people managing to fit in after attending these courses is a great victory. A seed that will have effects within one's own family and the social fabric," say the project's protagonists.

lazzarelle

An all-female enterprise. From the tower, in the Women's Prison in Pozzuoli, to the bistro, in Galleria Principe in Naples. To give life and aroma to a quality coffee. A path of reconstruction, for those serving a sentence but, at the same time, preparing for a life outside prison.

cotti in fragranza

If you do not know them, you cannot judge them. A kitchen can be a space for conviviality, but also for redemption. This is well known by the boys from the Palermo Juvenile Prison who, together with some young migrants, have found an opportunity. For personal and professional growth with a workshop for the production of fresh and baked products.

fuga di sapori

Good fruits of the prison. Wooden objects and craft products such as Il Maskalzone panettone, La sbirra beer and Brigantella spreadable cream. All made by inmates of the Alexandria prisons. To create jobs and train inmates while they are still in prison. With a single objective, that of making known the 'good that comes from within'.

sapori di libertà

We want them as good as bread. An artisan bakery workshop for the inmates of the Mantua Prison. A path of social reintegration through training and professional qualification. And a cooperative that will produce and sell outside to school canteens, restaurants, rest homes the baked products made in the workshop.

hermete

Sharewood. Wood, manual skills and many ideas. In Valpolicella (Verona) a carpentry workshop meets youth leadership. Where young people learn and experiment to build their future. By creating design objects, outdoor furniture and (why not) even games. Because 'play is not just to pass the time, but (above all) to understand the world'.

più di un sogno

Goodfood. A kitchen where the main ingredients are inclusion and participation. A cuisine in which everyone can get involved. One that creates opportunities for real work, in which young people with intellectual disabilities can feel like real protagonists of their own future.

cometa

Born under a lucky star. Products that are born in the Cometa workshops where master craftsmen work together with young people with the desire to pass on the secrets of recipes and the passion for things made with the heart. Passion and uniqueness. For something to become special you need to take care of it.

nina kakaw

The fire of women and their redemption through chocolate. A social chocolate shop in the heart of Belluno born from the desire to create an ethical, inclusive and sustainable supply chain to simultaneously involve small cocoa producers in Ecuador and women living in fragile situations in Italy. A double impact and social and economic empowerment processes.
