In his new series 'Tucci in Italy' sponsored by National Geographic, Stanley Tucci aims to provide a fresh perspective on Italian culture. Building on his prior experiences hosting 'Searching for Italy', he embraces a more authentic narrative style, emphasizing storytelling through food without falling into the trap of 'food porn'. Each episode is guided by Tucci's observations, leading the audience on a journey that intertwines culinary exploration with cultural narratives. As Tucci acknowledges, transitioning from acting to being himself on camera posed challenges, but he now feels more comfortable engaging with subjects and allowing their stories to unfold naturally.
"It's not necessarily a natural thing for me... I had to be myself, and that's a f--king nightmare. So yeah, now I'm better at it."
"I think everything has to relate to the food... The whole show is sort of predicated on the idea that you can't tell any story without it being told through the prism of food."
