Today Tumblr and Tik Tok rejoice as Stanley Tucci’s latest project with National Geographic and BBC Studios has been announced. Beginning production in January 2024, the planned 10-part series has the working title Tucci- The Heart of Italy.
Here’s the synopsis:
Each region of Italy proudly proclaims individuality, but what binds the country together is the passion that all Italians have for good food. Tucci guides viewers to discover the real Italy — with all its complexities — through its cuisine. Across 10 episodes, he’ll travel to 10 regions, including Sicily, Trentino-Alto Adige, Veneto, Marche and Lazio. As Tucci travels to each corner of the country, he seeks out the essence of each region and its people through the food they eat.
In each episode, Tucci ventures off the beaten track to meet fascinating people from all walks of life who will share their stories and the extraordinary dishes that make Italian food the world’s most loved cuisine.
