Me, Stanley Tucci, and a Food-Filled Escapade Through Florence
- Stanley Tucci premiered the National Geographic series Tucci in Italy on May 18, 2025, with episodes streaming the next day on Disney+ and Hulu.
- Tucci developed this personal series after CNN canceled his two-season show Searching for Italy in December 2022, aiming to explore Italy's regional food diversity more deeply.
- The five-part series follows Tucci visiting Florence and lesser-known Italian regions, meeting local chefs and home cooks to highlight traditional dishes like lampredotto and Lardo di Colonnata.
- Tucci described lampredotto as 'what Michelangelo ate,' praised the 500-year-old lardo curing tradition, and emphasized the importance of authenticity and exact ingredient treatment.
- The series aims to present authentic Italian food culture beyond stereotypes, reflecting Italy’s regional histories and attracting viewers with its detailed, personal storytelling.
