The four houses
Libera Terra
Farmland confiscated from the mafias and returned to social use under Italian law 109 of 7 March 1996. Eight cooperatives farm it; the first, Placido Rizzotto, was established in 2001 at San Giuseppe Jato. The Libera Terra brand was created in 2002.
Pasticceria Giotto
Since 2005 the pasticceria has worked inside the Due Palazzi prison in Padua. It began with four inmates and a hundred panettoni; today it brings together forty-six inmates and four master pastry chefs. Its panettoni have been in the Gambero Rosso top 10 for ten years, and the New York Times gave them an article in December 2021.
Cotti in Fragranza
Founded in 2016 at the Malaspina juvenile detention centre in Palermo, with the social cooperative Rigenerazioni and the Fondazione Don Calabria per il Sociale. Named Italy's best social food project by Gambero Rosso in 2019, Alfiere della Repubblica in 2021. A third workshop opened in 2024 at Casal di Principe, in a confiscated building.
La Madre Terra
The house olive oil, cold-extracted. In its range, the honeys — acacia and orange blossom — of a Lunigiana beekeeping cooperative.
The last mile
Orders are prepared and shipped by Réalise, a company that trains people through practice, in its logistics sector.
