Stanley Tucci revs up his appetite (and his beloved Fiat) for a mouthwatering sequel, Tucci in Italy, as he revisits lesser-known Italian corners with more flavor and fewer tourists. This isn’t the usual pasta parade—Tucci dives deep into regional quirks: uncovering why roadside Autogrill pit‑stops are serious business in Lombardy, sampling pine‑needle pesto in Trentino‑Alto Adige, bonding with Tuscan cowboys over bistecca, and hosting expansive Palio dinners in Siena that unite whole contrade around food. He meets immigrants infusing freshness into traditional kitchens, and spots fusion chefs who respect the roots. Across five episodes—from Tuscany to Lazio—Tucci proves that food isn’t just fuel, but cultural glue pulling people together.
