Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy
Puglia
Season 2 Episode 7 of 8
The actor visits Puglia in the south of the country, a region famous for its fragrant olive oil, beautiful vegetables, cheeses and durum wheat. Despite being such a fertile area, it is also one of Italy's poorest, and Stanely discovers how its spirit of innovation was forged out of hard times. From Bari's raw seafood and Cisternino's fornelli to cheesemaker Vito's Apulian blue cheeses, it is clear that by reclaiming their past, the Pugliese are taking ownership of their future and embracing it on their own terms
Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy airs on RTE2 HD at 7:00 PM, Monday 24 February. (Subtitles, new.)
