Emanuele Amo is a PhD researcher in geography at Aberystwyth University in Wales. His research focuses on the Slow Food movement, a worldwide organization based in his home region of Piedmont. In this inaugural episode, we traced the movement from its origins in 1980s Italy through to the present day. Along the way, we explored what an analysis of the Slow Food movement can teach us about tradition, cultural transformation, and commodification in a globalizing world.
