Stanley Tucci Searching for Italy

Riverwalk absolutely NOT!

I have read his book too, such a fascinating man.
I love Italy, I can’t wait to go back again.

Watched all of this too and adored everything about it.

Fabulous series on fabulous Italy. First visited by me in 1971 on honeymoon and our first experience of Italian cuisine still makes me laugh.
We stayed full board - who does that anymore - in a small hotel, apparently known for it's food. We had no idea about that, just going along with the travel agent's suggestion and, as we were totally clueless, every lunchtime when the waitress would ask "lasagne or soup" and we'd look at each other and go "soup", just perfect for the 90° heat outside!
We did redeem ourselves a bit by being brave one day and ordering lasagne but then spent the rest of our honeymoon kicking ourselves for missing out on all that divine grub. The divine Stanley sums up that divine grub so well.

A lovely programme. We have had many holidays in beautiful Italy and really like the food and the friendly people. Friday supper is Italian in our house. When I was small I was lucky and had an Italian aunt who was a fabulous cook.
My DD has recently told her DH to smarten up and dress like Stanley, we sent SIL his book as part of his birthday present, we have yet to find out how it went but DD definitely enjoyed it.

Reading the title of the thread, I couldn't help mentally answering, " Cross the channel, drive south until you hit the Med, then turn left along the coast. You'll find it eventually."

I'll get my hat.

I SO wanted to like this programme but, sadly, couldn’t stand Stanley Tucci. ? I liked him much better on the radio …
