«In the evening before going to sleep – says Dario, third year student – I think back to the productions I have started and in the morning I wake up to check that everything is perfect. There is a lot of sacrifice and studybut the pleasure of seeing customers savor our products is a priceless emotion.” The laboratories are the beating heart of this project and Beatrice, a second year student, is experiencing them to the full: «I feel happy there, I feel that my passion is satisfied».
The students integrated perfectly into the process of producing bread and other leavened products, which are then produced served at the Villa Terzaghi restaurant and at the Tog Bistrot, a restaurant concept that combines cuisine, inclusion and young generations, always with the signature of the famous chef. What motivates these teenagers is the vision of the future: Mattia dreams of a future as an entrepreneur, he wants to lead his own team and feels that this experience will help him. «When I told my friends that I would participate in this project, I also felt a little important».

My great challenge is to make my profession attractive and loved despite the great sacrifice it entails.”

They know determination from a very young age, they know what they want to do and they orient themselves day after day on the job market. They experience a dynamism that other peers do not have: events, demonstrations, collaborations, internships in Italy and abroad are an integral part of the path since the second year of training. Finally, they have the opportunity to experience and create beauty through manual skill and craftsmanship.”
