Series 2: 5. Calabria
Calabria is a region of rugged landscapes, dramatic mountain ranges and some 500 miles of incredible coastline. Connected to Basilicata in the north and separated from Sicily in the south by the narrow Strait of Messina, Calabria is also the homeland of the Tucci family’s ancestors. \n\nStanley Tucci travels through the region, discovering the history of this beautiful and troubled place as well as that of his own family. Joined by his parents and reunited with Italian relatives, he reflects on the inspiration people draw from Calabria and why those who leave this region feel compelled to return.
