This Italian city is a must-see at least once in your life, says Stanley Tucci
Italian roots are incredibly important to American actor Stanley Tucci. He expressed his great love for all things Italian in the TV show “Stanley Tucci: In Search of Italian Flavors.” For those who are just starting their Italian adventure, the star recommends one city that he believes is a must-see. It is Florence.
In his latest interview for "Parade," the two-time Golden Globe winner spoke about his culinary and travel discoveries. At the same time, he was challenged to name one place that every travel enthusiast should visit in sunny Italy.
Although it offers many different corners, Tucci has no hesitation in pointing out one destination. It is Florence.
- The capital of Tuscany is the birthplace of the Renaissance, which makes it so unique - emphasizes Tucci. - Florence is rich in art, history, culture and food. On every charming street, from small alleys to large squares, you will find amazing architecture - he adds.

- What's worth eating? Everything, Tucci says.
He emphasizes that traditional Florentine cuisine focuses on high-quality regional ingredients. Gourmets will be delighted by the local steak - bistecca alla fiorentina, ribolitta soup with beans and stale bread, and pappardelle al cinghiale - a pasta dish with wild boar sauce.
