Tucci in Italy

In Tuscany, where Tucci once lived as a teenager, he samples an unexpected local breakfast, rides out with traditional cowboys, and joins a grand Sienese feast that captures the spirit of the region.

Trentino-Alto Adige takes Tucci into new territory: skiing down Alpine slopes, fly fishing glacial rivers, and eating slope-side polenta in a region where Italian and German identities blend in the kitchen.

In Lazio, Tucci steps outside of Rome to explore the region’s rural soul. He tries porchetta from Ariccia, rustic fish soup, and a springtime lamb dish that speaks to a deeper connection between simplicity and seasonality.
