Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre (Turin, Oct. 23-27)

Salone Internazionale del Gusto and Terra Madre 2008 are two events held in Turin from October 23 to October 27.

"It has taken twelve years—22, if we go back to the year in which Slow Food was founded—to undertake this fascinating journey to the roots of food: from fork to field, from eno-gastronomy to neo-gastronomy, from the fruits of the Salone del Gusto to the womb of Terra Madre, which join together for the first time in 2008 as a single event (incidentally the first of its size to pursue zero environmental impact).
Even this journey is just a stage on an even longer one through biodiversity, education and pleasure—but it’s a stage that no one can afford to miss."
