Really?? In a Prison?? Yes, not a normal prison but the High Security Prison of Volterra located inside the beautiful Medicea Fortress called “Mastio”! Once past the prison gates, we are welcomed into the courtyard with a cocktail drink! Dinner is set inside the disused chapel, transformed for the occasion in a nice dining room with candle-light, waiters / prisoners impeccable service, sommelier and wine by the Fisar of Volterra. The dinner menu is prepared entirely by the prisoners, assistants of a renowned chef, different every time. An important moment for the prisoners, having the opportunity to learn experience in the kitchen from the chefs, and in the dinig rooms with the sommeliers: The background acquired working resulted 8 cases of a real occupancy in a local restaurants, according to Art. 21, which regulates the work outside the prison.
