    Slow food
    00.00–00.20 Chianti is a region in Italy. It’s between the famous cities of Florence
    and Siena. It’s famous for its beautiful countryside and its vineyards.

    00.20–00.48 In Chianti, there is a town called Greve. It has a population of 4,000


    people, and it’s the centre of traditional products from the region. There are local
    products like mushrooms and cheese. Greve is a place with tradition. A place where
    time is slower.

    00.48–00.59 Mayor Our aim is to keep Greve the same. We want to keep Greve
    and all the other slow cities special.

    00.59–01.17 The mayor of Greve and mayors from three other Italian cities started
    the Slow Cities League. The purpose of the Slow Cities League is to stop their
    home towns from becoming fast cities. That’s why the Slow Food movement
    began.

    01.17–01.34 The idea is simple. They want a good life with good food, family and
    friends. Now the Slow Food movement is an international movement. It has more
    than 66,000 members worldwide.

    01.34–01.53 Greve resident It’s very nice to live here because we have a nice
    atmosphere, we have nice landscapes … and so, when you have nice things to see, a
    nice place to live in, it’s very easy.

    01.53–02.06 Salvatore Toscano lives in Greve. In the past he ran an American-style


    restaurant in Florence. All day, he served fast food, like burgers.

    02.06–02.14 Five years ago he moved to Greve, and he opened a new restaurant.

    02.14–02.22 Salvatore It’s about taking more time, so you are more calm and
    relaxed. This means you also have to think about what you eat.
    Life
    02.22–02.39 In the mountains of Pistoia, in northern Tuscany,
    farmers produce pecorino cheese.

    02.39–02.52 They make it with the milk of black sheep twice a


    day.

    02.52–03.06 This traditional food was dying out. But the Slow Food movement
    helped the farmers. Now the cheese is popular again.

    03.06–03.18 Cheese maker Not everyone knows about our product, but now the
    Slow Food movement means people know about us.

    03.18–03.38 Farmer From Singapore to Macau, in New York, in Rome, you


    always find the same pizza, the same hamburgers. Slow Food doesn’t want this.
    Slow Food wants the specialness of every product to be respected.

    03.38–end The city of Greve does not want to leave the modern world, but it wants
    to enjoy itself … slowly.
