Italian journalist, writer and founder of the international Slow Food movement Carlo Petrini has died at the age of 76. Petrini lived in the town of Bra in Italy's Piedmont, where he died on Friday evening at his private home. The Slow Food movement honored him for his lifelong contribution to promoting a sustainable food industry and traditional culinary culture. SITA ↗ The Guardian ↗
Petrini founded the Slow Food movement in the mid-1980s as a counterweight to the ranks of fast food arriving from America. His goal was to assert the "right to pleasure" and to bring quality food within reach of all people. Over the four decades he spent within this movement, he transformed eating into a political, ethical and cultural act. The Italian journalist and sustainability advocate thus created a movement that gradually operated on a global level and is now represented in many countries. More recently, he had already withdrawn from public activity himself in favor of a new generation of Slow Food movement activists. Petrini's legacy in promoting traditional cuisine and a sustainable way of eating remains a significant contribution to worldwide thinking about food quality. BBC World ↗ Le Figaro ↗
