Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy
One of the most popular travel destinations, Italy, is explored by the fabulous Stanley Tucci. Trying regional dishes and exploring Italy’s love for food, he also explores the various cultures in the series. Tucci explores the origins of each city, and how their food and traditions came to be. It’s a fun show as Tucci is learning as he’s filming, rather than teaching, taking us on a holiday through Italy alongside him.
