<br />
The Gipsy Queens are a travelling catering business founded by Roma women in Rome.<br />
<br />
In 2015 Arci Solidarietà, an independent association for the promotion of social development, launched the “Tavolo delle donne rom” (Round table of Roma women) to both incentivise the process of integration of Roma in the city of Rome and to strengthen the Roma women’s self-esteem in the context of a culture tied to patriarchal models. The “Gipsy Queens” project was founded by ten Roma women in July 2015 after an event organised together with Arci Solidarietà in the Candoni Roma camp in the Magliana, a neighbourhood in the South-West periphery of Rome, during which people were invited to dance and eat Roma cuisine. The goal of the Gipsy Queen travelling catering business is to support equal opportunities and female entrepreneurship among Roma women, who are often relegated to the roles of wives and mothers.

The “Gipsy Queens” project was founded by ten Roma women in July 2015 after an event organised together with Arci Solidarietà in the Candoni Roma camp in the Magliana, a neighbourhood in the South-West periphery of Rome, during which people were invited to dance and eat Roma cuisine.

  • MILANO, ITALY - 1 MARCH 2016: Said Manah (left), an inmate and waiter from Marocco, ties his shoe laces in the changing room of the "InGalera" restaurantat the Bollate prison in Milan, Italy, on March 1st 2016. On the right are two regular students of the local hotel and catering school that walk the restaurant guests from the entrance gate of the prison to restaurant.<br />
<br />
"InGalera" (which translates in English as "InJail") is the first restaurant located inside a prison and offering high-quality cooking to the public and a future to the inmates. It was inaugurated last October inside the Bollate prison in Milan. It is open five days a week for lunch and dinner, and seats 55 people. There are 9 people involved in the project, including cooks and waiters, all regularly employed and all inmates of the prison, apart from the chef and the maître d’hôtel, recruited from outside to guarantee the high quality of the food served. The restaurant is a project of the co-operative ABC La Sapienza - that operates inside the prison and provides more than 1,000 meals three times a day with the help of inmates they've hired - and of PwC, a multinational operating in the field of corporate consultancy. The goal of this project is to follow prisoners in rehabilitation process of social inclusion.<br />
<br />
The Bollate prison is already known for being a good example of penitentiary administration. The inmates are free to move around from one area to the other inside the prison (their cells open at 7:30am and close at 9pm) to go study, exercise in a gym, or work (in a call center, as scenographers, tailors, gardeners, cooks, typographers, among others)  in one of the 11 co-operatives inside the prison or in one of the private partnering businesses outside the prison. The turnover of the co-operatives that work inside the prison was €2mln in 2012.

  • VALLETTA, MALTA - 6 DECEMBER 2015: A seated headless and corpulent figure  (3800-2500BC) is on display here at the National Museum of Archeology in Valletta, Malta, on December 6th 2015. The discovery of temple altars and corpulent human representations suggests that some type of cult existed on the islands of Malta and Gozo in prehistory. Given the corpulency of the statues it may be that the cult was tied to a fertility rite.
