Ricucendo

The “Ricucendo” workshop, active within the Bergamo prison, transforms tailoring work into a path of redemption and training. Here, every needle and every fabric become tools of rebirth — giving inmates the chance to build a new professional skill, and with it, a new life.

The project

Created with the goal of offering a real second chance, Ricucendo is a social tailoring workshop where inmates learn a trade, produce high-quality garments and accessories, and rediscover — through work — a sense of responsibility, dignity, and hope for the future.
The workshop’s activities combine training, inclusion, and sustainability: fabrics and scrap materials are reused, promoting a model of circular economy that regenerates not only textiles but people too.

Magnetti Building chose to support Ricucendo because it believes in the value of second chances — the same philosophy that guides our way of building: giving new form to matter, creating solid structures from fragile foundations, transforming what exists into something lasting and meaningful.
Supporting this workshop means empowering those who, with effort and determination, are rebuilding themselves. It is a way of “building people” even before building structures — recognizing that every human project deserves solid foundations and a new opportunity to grow.

Work, both inside and outside the prison walls, becomes an act of responsibility and personal reconstruction. Just like on a construction site, every day new bricks of knowledge, trust, and professionalism are laid.
Through Ricucendo, Magnetti Building takes part in this process of reconstruction, supporting a project that places the human being and their potential for rebirth at the very center.
