Cittaslow was inspired in Europe by the Slow Food movement and encompasses maintenance of a high quality of life, localism, sustainability and preservation of cultural heritage. Thank you to resident Virginia Hubbell for spearheading this effort! It is an honor for Sonoma to be named among the world's highest quality of life communities.
