In just under an hour, Tucci manages to capture the complexity and warmth of Tuscany. He begins in Florence, sampling dishes like lampredotto and bistecca alla fiorentina, while learning how local artisans keep centuries-old food traditions alive.

From there, he heads south to the rugged landscapes of the Maremma, where he meets Tuscany’s butteri (cowboys) and enjoys rustic dishes and wild boar stew. The scenes highlight how food is deeply rooted in the rhythms of rural life.

One of the episode’s most emotional moments unfolds in Siena. Tucci joins a contrada—one of the city’s neighborhood communities preparing for the Palio—and shares a traditional dinner, experiencing firsthand how food, identity, and civic pride are tightly interwoven in this centuries-old event.
