The manager of the restaurant "In galera", Silvia, explains why she wants to give inmates a chance by employing them. She maintains that not being free doesn't mean taking away dignity as well.

In this short segment, we see how the kitchen is organized based on deliveries and workload. Silvia asks for permission before entering Davide's workspace in the kitchen.

Silvia goes to see Davide in the kitchen to see what he will propose for dinner. Davide is very organized and has everything under control, and is a bit short with Silvia. Maybe he is nervous about a special evening.

Everything is ready for the dinner celebrating the seven years since the opening of the restaurant "In Galera," and Davide talks about how he feels and what he needs to continue being creative. At dinner, Mrs. Silvia gives a brief speech to the full room.

Silvia concludes her speech with a phrase invented thanks to the restaurant: "Welcome to prison".
Thanks to Silvia's cooperative, many inmates have successfully completed their reintegration path by working in the restaurant industry and protecting their dignity.

A personal message from Santa!

Italy has an important tradition of auto d'epoca (vintage cars) and auto da corsa (race cars) and RAI TV has dedicated a documentary series to this topic. This first segment is introduced by former racing driver René Arnoux, who competed in 12 Formula One seasons. You might notice his French accent. It also features Silvia Nicolis, daughter of the collector of vintage cars, Luciano Nicolis.

There are a great many unique automobiles in the collection. In the early twentieth century, there was no metallic paint, so other solutions were found to produce a special finish, such as Lunar Chrome, a technique using mother of pearl and fish scales.

The passion for vintage cars can become a real disease. Being the owner of a car and being a collector are two different things.
