There seems to be only 4 episodes this season. I wonder if they had to cut the season short when there was a Covid surge again in Italy?
Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy season 2 locations
In
Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy season 1, the six episodes covered six cities/regions of Italy — Naples/Amalfi Coast, Rome, Bologna, Milan, Tuscany and Sicily. For season 2, CNN has shared four more locations that the popular actor will explore.
Stanley Tucci will visit Venice and Umbria, but he will also head to the Piedmont region of Italy. Also, for the first time the show will travel outside of Italy, as Tucci explores the impact of Italian immigration on London’s food scene. Here’s a sampling of what’s in store for
Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy at all of these stops in season 2:
Venice
Stanley Tucci visits the Veneto, once the center of a world-trading empire and home to the “Floating City,” Venice. Stanley explores the ingenuity of the Venetians, who have embraced the unexpected delights and challenges of the lagoon, in addition to the produce of Veneto’s fertile land. Veneto has a fascinating food culture due to its aquatic environment and the countless influences from around the world over throughout its vast and storied history.
Umbria
In this episode, Stanley Tucci visits Umbria, nicknamed The Green Heart of Italy. While this small, predominantly rural region lives in the shadow of its more glamorous neighbor, Tuscany, Umbria has an ancient history that predates even the Romans. And, with the highest consumption of pork per capita, Umbria is a carnivore’s dream. From wild boar hunts to incredible black truffle farms, Stanley will explore the riches this land has to offer, while also questioning whether old traditions and centuries of religious orthodoxy are preventing younger generations from breaking through.
Piedmont
In this episode, Stanley Tucci visits the region that made the dream of unified Italy a reality. Piedmont boasts refined French heritage and precious peasant traditions. Once the engine room of Italian industrialization, Piedmont is now spearheading a slow food revolution. Between reimagined risotto and the elusive white truffle, Stanley will discover a region with an illustrious past but with its sights firmly set on the future.
London
Stanley sets out to explore how Italian immigration has transformed the food scene in his adopted hometown of London. Forget what you think you know about this city. London is a culinary mecca where Italian food from every region gets a chance to shine. The burrata is so creamy and pasta is so fresh that it may rival Italy itself. For over a century, Italians here have found inventive ways to create Italian food so good it’s enough to render Stanley speechless.
