Petrini's gifts to us were many and his presence in Sonoma County giving the keynote address at the National Heirloom Expo in 2012 was just one of them. Slow Food, Slow Wine, Slow Wine USA, Terra Madre of the Americas–Let us count the ways he expanded our worlds.
Carlo Petrini, the founder of Slow Food, died, from prostate cancer, and bios of his life and times are everywhere.
I was looking for an old photo taken in 2012 that exists–somewhere–in my photo archives of me and Carlo, when he came to speak at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds. I was so thrilled to get a selfie (something I rarely do but for a photo with him, I was willing to make an exception!) I had no idea I would come to work as editor of Slow Wine USA later in my life.
But due to my excellent filing system (LOL), I cannot find that photo. Maybe I will get lucky someday and Facebook Photos will pop it up randomly. But I found something much better–video of Carlo in his prime, giving a moving speech. I filmed these two videos in 2012 at the National Heirloom Expo.
