oh, wow. steep. is this okay, here we are, finally. i had no idea it was that far. so i ve just made my way up thousands of steps to this place, castle brown, which is in portofino, which is in liguria. and liguria is a crescent right on the coast of italy, bordering tuscany and france. they ll carry me out of here on a stretcher, but i don t mind because the food is amazing. i m stanley tucci. i m fascinated by my italian heritage, so i m traveling across italy to discover how the food in each of this country s 20 regions is as unique as the people and their past. the rugged environment has made the ligurians tough and unafraid of a challenge. so you call this? le guide le cocho, because everything here must be done by hand. centuries of wrestling their food out of a small amount of land have given these people a wisdom that s right for our times. the harshness of their region has made them inventive. oh my god. liguria gave us pesto. it s really good. th

singing in italian. we start this week in one of europe s most breathtakingly beautiful destinations, venice, in north east italy. this city on water is made up of over 100 islets, interconnected by a labyrinth of picture perfect canals and elegant bridges. life around here has remained the same for hundreds of years and steadfast through that time have been the gondoliers of venice. they see themselves as custodians of the city. today, there are only 400 gondoliers left and they are almost exclusively used by tourists. so it was in the family? with the local population of around 50,000 people dwarfed by 20 million visitors every year, the gondoliers aren t short of a customer or two. and while that is good for business, the numbers swelling the main tourist areas inevitably create a huge problem. increased pollution, including discarded junk clogging up the famous waterways. but now some of the gondoliers who ply their trade in the 276 canals are doing something about it. th

Foreigners, we like them now this is the daily express, thats ok then why are foreigners coming . Because of the pound it is astonishing. We were talking before we came on air about the old days when there would be a very posh person from the bbc who would interview a young couple sitting outside a Department Store somewhere and they were going to go to safer for £20. Theres a woman quoted here who bought two pairs of shoes that were reduced from £630 to £90 a pair, if you can afford to spend that on shoes then you probably dont need to go in that crash in the sales i find probably dont need to go in that crash in the sales ifind it astonishing.
