The bakery at the Due Palazzi prison on the outskirts of Padua turns out one of Italy's best panettone, the national Christmas cake that's notoriously tricky to perfect. "I get five or six and send them to my family in Sicily,” said one inmate baker. https://t.co/4XhAV8GXc5

I'm sorry I keep putting out new COVID variants but sometimes perfectionism gets the better of Me.
