Benvenuti In Galera (Welcome to Jail) is a documentary film that tells the story of the world's first restaurant opened inside a correctional facility, the Bollate prison, near Milan. You can find notes and extra information in this special lesson.

There are morning tasks to be done at the kitchen trailer of the prison. The delivery truck from Metro (a leading wholesaler) has parked too far away, which doesn't sit well with the head of the kitchen crew. One of the vegetables delivered was topinambur (Jerusalem artichoke).

In the restaurant inside Bollate prison, activities to be carried out are planned. The work in the kitchen must be well organized to offer good service.

The debut of the restaurant in prison was challenging but also exciting. The most important thing about cooking is that food brings everyone together and is convivial.

Silvia Polleri, a catering expert, had never dealt with prison until she received a proposal from the director of Bollate prison, and that's when this culinary adventure in jail began.
