When: Sunday 06/24/2018 from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm - Where:  Museo Italo Americano,  Marina Blvd, Building C - San Francisco

Renato Sardo will present an illustrated lecture on the beautiful region of Piemonte and its famous Slow Food movement, with wine-and-cheese pairings.

Learn the very Piemontese story of Slow Food, a grassroots organization founded in 1986 to oppose the opening of a MacDonald’s near the Spanish Steps in Rome, which has grown into a global movement to prevent the disappearance of local food cultures and traditions. Discover and taste some Piemontese wines (the legendary Barolo, Barbaresco, Barbera and Moscato, to name a few) and the celebrated alpine cheeses that created the fertile environment for the inception of this movement.
