Series 2: 8. Liguria



Stanley Tucci visits one of the most famous and frequented regions of Italy, the Italian Riviera, for the glitz and glamour of Portofino and the stunning picture-perfect fishing villages of the Cinque Terre.\n\nLiguria is a thin strip of mountainous land, sandwiched between the Alps and the Apennines and lined with rugged scenery and stunning coastal views. Its capital, Genoa, was once a wealthy merchant empire, and now offers such rich cuisine as personalised stamped pasta and its most internationally acclaimed export, Genoese pesto.\n\nTucci discovers how Ligurians have learned to adapt to life in this difficult landscape and how they have found ingenious solutions to survive and thrive.
