Citat:Slow Food is an international movement which came into being in Paris in 1989.
Its head offices are in Bra, in Piedmont, in the north of Italy where the first national association was founded. Other offices have been opened in Switzerland (1995), in Germany (1998-) in New York, in the USA(2000), in France (2003) in Montpellier, and this year in Japan in the northern city of Sendai. Slow Food boasts 80,000 members in more than 100 countries, organized into more than 800 local convivia. In Italy there are about 35,000 members and 360 convivia (in Italy known as condotte). In the rest of the world, there are about 450 convivia and the number is continuing to grow. The condotte in Italy and the convivia worldwide are the linchpins of the Slow Food movement and interpret and represent its philosophy at local level.
The head of the condotta or convivium is the fiduciary or convivium leader, who, through the members and the central office, organizes food and wine events and initiatives, creates moments of conviviality, raises the profile of products and promotes local artisans and wine cellars. He also organizes tasting courses and Taste Workshops and promulgates new food and wine developments and knowledge of the products and cuisines of other areas. In short, he educates in matters of taste.
Local rootedness and decentralization (plus the ensuing conservation of typicality) - and without forgetting the voluntary nature of its representativesÕ contribution - are the most authentic characteristics of the movement, and the network of contacts it has built over the years represents without doubt its most valuable asset.
