Stanley Tucci has a deep knowledge of Italy, having spent many years exploring the country. He first moved there as a child and later returned for a CNN show and his current series on National Geographic, “Tucci in Italy.” His recommendations carry weight for anyone looking to travel there.
When asked which town and meal he would recommend for a first-time visitor, Tucci found it difficult to choose. He eventually suggested Bologna, where one can enjoy authentic lasagna bolognese. His extensive experience in Italy allows him to appreciate its cuisine and culture significantly.
In the second season of “Tucci in Italy,” Tucci aims to introduce viewers to the Le Marche region, which many people are unfamiliar with. He describes it as beautiful and located next to Tuscany. Each area featured in this season will showcase unique dishes and stories not widely known to international tourists.
The new season also explores Campania, famous for its capital Naples. Here, Tucci highlights a rare grape variety and delves into the origins of tiramisu in Veneto. He further investigates the culinary connections to health and longevity in Sardinia and the multicultural influences on Sicilian food.
The second season of “Tucci in Italy” is set to premiere on May 11 on National Geographic and will be available for streaming on Disney+ and Hulu the following day.
