Stanley Tucci returns to Italy with National Geographic series and vows to ‘go more in depth’
- Stanley Tucci, a Golden Globe- and Emmy-winning actor, stars in National Geographic's 2024 food-travel series 'Tucci in Italy', filmed January to July across Italy.
- The new series follows CNN's cancellation of Tucci's Emmy-winning 'Searching for Italy' and aims to explore social issues like immigration and gay rights across the nation.
- The series, created in collaboration with Salt Productions alongside BBC Studios, explores the lives of Punjabi migrants—especially Sikhs involved in the dairy industry—as well as Ethiopian immigrants who encounter racism, and addresses cultural issues such as the difficulties faced by same-sex couples seeking to adopt.
- Tucci notes that the visuals are more engaging in this installment, and the series aims to explore the narratives more thoroughly within the constraints of the format, highlighting Italy’s blend of old traditions and contemporary influences.
- The series suggests that Italians need to adapt to ongoing social issues, while executive producer Lottie Birmingham acknowledges that Italy, like any nation, faces its own challenges beneath the surface.
