Stanley Tucci is returning to the country he loves for season 2 of Tucci in Italy. In PEOPLE's exclusive first look at the National Geographic travel and food series, the 65-year-old actor reveals that he's visiting five new regions across Italy — Naples and Campania, Sicily, Le Marche, Sardinia, and Veneto — as he continues "to trace the link between Italy's historical landscape and its culinary traditions," the network said in a press release.
That even means going to the world's smallest kingdom on Tavolara Island, which is ruled by the Bertoleoni family. The king, Antonio, also owns the restaurant Da Tonino, which is known for its fresh seafood paired with Sardinian wines. In season 2, the Devil Wears Prada 2 star also visits Le Marche, a lesser-known destination located in central Italy along the Adriatic coast that has largely been overlooked by international tourists; Naples, where "he celebrates a once-forgotten vine grape;" and Veneto, where tiramisù is said to have been invented by the wife of a Treviso-based restaurant owner in 1969.
