dining in a prison near Volterra

I recently read an article where you can dine in a prison. The food is cooked by prisoners and you are also serendaded by Bruno, who is in for murder charges. The food is quite good and every diner is security checked by the Italian government.

I think this would be great fun but I am having problems getting information as to how do I make reservation and what information do I need to provide for my security clearance.

Thanks Jeng

You can make reservations via a travel agency in Florence: +39 055 2342777. The restaurant is only open the first Friday of the month and it is booked months in advance.

There is a Medici Fortress in Volterra that is now a prison, but I don't know if they serve meals. Also we saw a brand new huge prison outside of Volterra as we were driving there. Sorry no help on the serving part of your question.
