The municipality of Bra, Italy, is holding a day of mourning for the funeral of Carlo Petrini, the founder of Slow Food, who was born and lived in the town. The town is currently hosting a children's book fair.
The municipal administration of Bra, the town in the province of Cuneo where the founder of Slow Food was born and lived, has declared a day of civic mourning for the day of Carlo Petrini's funeral, scheduled for Sunday.
These days Bra is hosting the Children's Book Fair, an event that leads Mayor Gianni Fogliato to recall how "the book is the tool that from childhood taught us to dream and so did Carlo: with a bit of healthy and precious madness he led a movement that knew how to see big and make our city important and give others back the fortune of living in this territory".
Precisely to a book is linked "one of the last projects we shared as a Municipality: the distribution to young students of the volume Vite di Langa e Roero which tells the history of our territory to give awareness to the generations who live and will live it".
"Today - adds Fogliato - our city embraces with deep emotion his family, his friends and the entire community of Slow Food and the University of Gastronomic Sciences. The best way to remember him will be to continue to defend those values of respect, awareness and love for the territory that he taught to Bra and to the whole world. His thought will continue to live well beyond the borders of our city".
