Tuscany
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.
Lombardy
In Lombardy, he explores Italy’s industrial engine through a culinary lens—tasting futuristic farm-to-table menus, investigating one of the world’s most expensive ingredients, and dining at a rest stop that’s anything but average.
Trentino-Alto Adige
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.
Abruzzo
Abruzzo is rugged and surprising. It’s Tucci’s first time there, and he leans into the wildness—grilling mutton in sheep country, sharing Sunday lunch with a French twist, and tracing the sugary roots of Italy’s iconic confetti almonds.
Lazio
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.
