Carlo Petrini, “Slow Food” Founder, Coming to Emory
Decatur Metro | February 6, 2010Carlo Petrini is such a great public speaker that he easily overcomes the need to have a translator on stage with him. If you haven’t encountered Petrini before, the clip above will give you an idea of what I mean.
The Italian founder of the Slow Food movement – who is also scheduled to give the keynote at this year’s Georgia Organics Conference the previous evening – will be part of a faculty panel and discussion session at Emory on Monday, February 22nd entitled “Food, Family and the Family Meal.” Other featured speakers include the CDC’s Joel Kimmons and Emory Psychology Professor Marshall Duke.
The event is open to the public and will take place from 4pm-6pm at 1531 Dickey Drive on the Emory Campus. Petrini will be on hand to sign books post-discussion.
