Stanley Tucci has made a career out of playing complicated men with great presence. But the role that has arguably suited him best is the simplest one: a man who loves Italy and wants to eat his way across it. The Emmy-nominated series Tucci in Italy returns for a second season, with all episodes streaming on Disney+ and Hulu on 12 May, and premiering on National Geographic on 11 May.
This season promises a deeper, more personal journey. Tucci returns to five new regions: Naples and Campania, Sicily, Le Marche, Sardinia and Veneto, tracing the link between Italy's historical landscape and its culinary traditions, where the ritual of the shared meal remains, as the show has always argued, the ultimate expression of a people.
