Pastry labs

The project involves the organisation of pastry-making workshops led by Sofia Fabiani within the female correctional facility in Rome. These sessions are conceived as special moments of sharing, aimed at fostering inclusion and strengthening the connection between the outside community and incarcerated women.

Project

Across the various editions, preparations have been created in connection with key commemorations and symbolic moments of the year: mimosa muffins for International Women’s Day, cheesecake as a group workshop activity, and pastiera during the Easter period. These activities enhance Italian pastry traditions as a means of building relationships, fostering participation, and encouraging shared learning.

Goals

The initiative aims to break down barriers between inside and outside, promote dialogue, and create an atmosphere of closeness and solidarity. Through culinary practice, it seeks to bring forward the shared human value that unites all women, regardless of their life context.

Facilitator

Sofia Fabiani

Chef and food writer

A graduate of Iginio Massari’s School of High Pastry, Sofia Fabiani worked as a pastry chef before embarking on an independent journey that led her to become one of the most recognisable voices in Italian culinary communication. Known online as @cucinare_stanca, she regularly collaborates with the monthly magazine Cook by Corriere della Sera and is the author of three books.

She brings to the workshop with Fondazione Severino the conviction that cooking is, above all, a language: a tool for expression and relationship which, within the prison context, also becomes an opportunity for redemption and the development of concrete skills
