Cittaslow International

The Movement of cittaslow was born in through the Paolo Saturnini’s brilliant intuition, past Mayor of Greve in Chianti, a little town of Tuscany. The new idea of considering the town itself and thinking of a different way of development, based on the improving of life quality, moved him to spread his thoughts all over our country. Fastly his ideals were endorsed by Mayors of towns of Bra ( Francesco Guida), Orvieto ( Stefano Cimicchi) and Positano ( Domenico Marrone )as well as they met later the president of slow food Carlo Petrini’s support. The main goal of cittaslow, was and still is today, to enlarge the philosophy of Slow Food to local communities and to government of towns, applying the concepts of ecogastronomy at practice of everyday life.
