“Slow Food, Slow Life”.. what is it?

Slow Food: The History of an Idea (you’ll see the Snail…Slow..Sybolic of “Slow food, Slow down”).

Slow Food was started by Carlo Petrini and a group of activists in the 1980s with the initial aim to defend regional traditions, good food, gastronomic pleasure and a slow pace of life. In over two decades of history, the movement has evolved to embrace a comprehensive approach to food that recognizes the strong connections between plate, planet, people, politics and culture. Today Slow Food represents a global movement involving thousands of projects and millions of people in over 160 countries.

How does Locanda Rosati fit into this?

Locanda Rosati in Orvieto, which was one of the first Italian Agriturismo’s or establishments awarded Locande d’Italia.

The philosophy:

Slow Food envisions a world in which all people can access and enjoy food that is good for them, good for those who grow it and good for the planet.

Our approach is based on a concept of food that is defined by three interconnected principles: good, clean and fair.

GOOD: quality, flavorsome and healthy food

CLEAN: production that does not harm the environment

FAIR: accessible prices for consumers and fair conditions and pay for producers
