History

Autunno Slow was created to promote the beauty, culture, and flavors of the Casentino Forest National Park during the most colorful season of the year.

The event has its roots in the concept of “slow eating,” which emphasizes the importance of savoring local, seasonal foods and taking the time to appreciate the region’s rich culinary history.

Ancient recipes and Slow Food-protected ingredients are showcased in the various dishes and products on offer.

The event aims to provide a platform for the various entities operating within the region, including local associations, businesses, and citizens, to showcase their unique identities and work together to promote the area’s cultural, environmental, and gastronomic excellence.
