Carlo Petrini
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carlo Petrini ( born June 22, 1949 ), born in the province of Cuneo in the commune Bra in Italy, he founded the International Slow Food Movement in 1989. He first came to prominence in the 1980s for taking part in a campaign against the fast food chain McDonald's opening by the Spanish Steps in Rome
He is an editor of multiple publications at the publishing house Slow Food Editore and writes several weekly columns for La Stampa. He was one of Time Magazine's heroes of 2004.
In order to strengthen his campaign against intensive food production, he refers to the Pope's call for the protection of local agriculture. In doing so, Carlo Petrini is inexplicably oblivious of the ceaseless papal support for unsustainable population growth.
