The 2013 Edition of Gallehault Dinners (www.cenegaleotte.it) is an initiative promoted by the House of Detention of Volterra and by Unicoop Florence with the collaboration of the Ministry of Justice. Given the numerous requests for participation from that accompany from the beginning the series of meetings in the House of Detention of Volterra, the organization decided to set up nice out-of-program, a special evening in addition to a full calendar rich in big names that will lower the curtain on 28th June.

FRIDAY, 7th June, in the kitchen of the House of Detention of Volterra, the protagonist will be Fabrizio Borracino, young chef of Splatenna Castle Restaurant in the town of Gaiole in Chianti Senese (Loc Pieve di Spaltenna - www.spaltenna.it), who will support in the kitchen the cooking team of inmates engaged in the project. The cuisine proposed by Fabrizio Borraccino is rooted in territory and seasonality, with combinations and compositions never trivial, that are the result of study and great passion.

To accompany the creations, the wines of Vecchia Cantina di Montepulciano (www.vecchiacantinadimontepulciano.com), historical reality representing one of the most important wine areas in Tuscany.

The proceeds from the Gallehault Dinner will be donated as always to the international campaign "The heart melts onlus" (www.ilcuoresiscioglie.it), that since 2000 is committed, along with Unicoop Florence, for the implementation of humanitarian projects, especially for distance adoptions.

The "Gallehault Dinners" are an idea by the union of Unicoop and Fisar: the first dedicated to providing the raw materials and to remunerate the inmates, and the second chose wineries and wines matching evenings and to dishes. In seven editions, which were attended by 10,000 people, were collected 10.0000 EUR. Thanks to the Gallehault Dinners project, moreover, 16 inmates found a job in restaurants in the area in accordance with Art. 21, which regulates the work outside the prison.
