Beyond sweetness lies social commitment. Pasticceria Giotto’s Saffron Savory Biscuits are not just an artisanal delicacy, but also a testament to a powerful social reintegration project.
Crafted in the prison of Padua, these biscuits combine the rich aroma of saffron with a crunchy, savory texture, offering a refined tasting experience. Pasticceria Giotto strives to create redemption opportunities for inmates, providing them with high-quality professional training in the art of pastry-making.
Every purchase supports their journey of reintegration and positive return to society.
Savory saffron buscuits , from "I dolci di Giotto" bakery, take their inspiration from the traditional Milan recipe RISOTTO ALLA MILANESE.
Salty biscuits is the result of the work of the talented chef Cesare Veronesi and the pastry chef Matteo Concolato.
Risotto alla Milanese proves the relevance and importance of art in cooking. Legend tells us that Zafferano was a painter who loved spices, so much so that he used them not only for his paintings but also to liven up his dishes. During a wedding banquet, he surprised his guests by colouring the rice into gold. From that moment on, the yellow risotto took its name and passed into history as a symbol of richness.

Pasticceria Giotto: Quality Sweets, Solidarity, and Training
Pasticceria Giotto is an artisanal pastry shop that is also a social project. Over fifteen years ago, the Pasticceria Giotto project was born, which today is a concrete reality. It is a professional pastry laboratory located within a prison, producing artisanal sweets with the precision and expertise required for high-quality pastry. In 2005, the pastry shop was established at the Due Palazzi prison in Padua, where inmates work closely with professionals to learn the art of pastry and more.
To date, this initiative has guided over 200 individuals through training and professionalization paths, providing them with valuable skills in the field of pastry. This project represents a unique fusion of taste and solidarity. The Padua Prison Pastry Shop operates within the Due Palazzi penitentiary and is both an artisanal laboratory and a school of life. Since its inception in 2005, it has offered numerous opportunities, visits, and events that have garnered support from institutions, the public, and industry critics. It represents the daily reality of genuine work that offers incarcerated individuals the opportunity for personal transformation every day. The main goal is to use work in prison as a bridge between incarcerated individuals and society, offering them a concrete rehabilitation tool.
This allows them to test and develop their skills before reintegrating into society. Work in the prison environment has a normalizing effect, promotes a positive outlook on the future, and disrupts the physical and mental routines of detention. This, in turn, leads to cost savings related to health and disciplinary measures and contributes to a virtuous process that reduces the likelihood of recidivism after serving a sentence, benefiting both incarcerated individuals and society as a whole.
