Ive only been to milan a few times and always in passing. Ive never stayed here long enough to really get a sense of it. The first thing that strikes you about milan is its dynamism. No Wonder Espresso was invented here. I think i might need a few of these just to keep up with the rhythm of the city, but do the hardworking milanese bring as much to the italian table as they do to the Countrys Economy . Im stanley tucci. Im italian on both sides and im travelling across italy to discover how the food in each of this countrys 20 regions is as unique as the people and their past. Thats delicious. Here in milan, the menu is nothing like you expect. Up here in the north, forget about pasta and pizza. Oh my god, thats so beautiful. Perfecto. This is the land of rice and polenta. Polenta in the ancient time, it was like the bread. People from south of italy call us polentoni. Tucci there isnt even a tomato in sight. This is amazing. And Olive Oil plays second fiddle to butter. Butter, a lot o
it s the unofficial capital of the italian south and is even older than rome. it s a region of volcanic landscapes, magical islands and the world-famous amalfi coast. the southern sun nurtures tomatoes that are the envy of the world and out in the hills, buffalo produce the milk for the finest mozzarella. but pizza wasn t born in the lush hills. it came from the darkest, poorest streets of naples and its story combines two of italy s favorite subjects, food and death. tv announcer: vesuvius explodes. italy s historical volcano bursts into the most fearsome and devastating eruption at least once in every century, it has heralded disaster. the volcano is this sort of ever-present threat, isn t it? it is. you know, it is on the landscape, you always watch it, and have it in your mind and in your eyes. professor elisabetta moro is one of the three million neapolitans who live in the shadow of the mighty volcano. people are obsessed with the possibility of dying because there is
rules. napoli is a truly thrilling city. the second you arrive you re engulfed by a magnificent chaos and there s no point in fighting it. people here do things their own way. take the energy of new york, mix in the gritty elegance of new orleans, add 3,000 years of history and cook it all up in the heat of the world s most famous volcano. that is napoli. i m stanley tucci. i m italian on both sides and 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. in the south we are very used to fight. this place may be looked down as the poverty-stricken underdog of italy. but the people who live in this region have their own way of doing things. for me, this is our philosophy. this is our style and tradition. they ve given the world its favorite food. pizza margarita! just don t forget where it was invented. [upbeat piano music] if pizza was going to be born anywhere, it would be here in na
friends, probably after gorging on campania s other great contribution to the world, pizza. wherever we are, the food of this place can t help but bring us together. thanks for everything, you re amazing. thank you. cheers. cheers. cheers. cin, cin. [slow piano music] [upbeat music] so bologna. i haven t been here for a very long time. very happy to be back. the people of bologna have been hit hard by the covid pandemic. but i ve arrived during a brief moment of normality when lockdown has been lifted restaurants are filling up and masks are optional outside. bologna is an ancient university town the oldest in the western world brought to life by students flaunting their youth. this bread is an aphrodisiac. i m all alone in a hotel. why would i want to do that? this place is rich and its food is famous. some bold souls whisper that it s the best in italy. massimo: smell, smell, smell! the smell is unbelievable. i m stanley tucci. i m italian on both sides and i m trav
welcome to the whole story. i m anderson cooper. november will mark the 60th anniversary of the assassination of president john kennedy. over the years a number of well-known conspiracy theories have flourished. who really pulled the trigger? were the russians behind it? was the cia involved? but there s one conspiracy theory you may not know about. the belief that president kennedy and his son, john f. kennedy jr., who died in a plane crash in 1999, are actually alive and in hiding. it may sound preposterous to you, but there are those who absolutely believe this. they formed a group which some are calling a cult and are led by a qanon believer. this group holds so much influence over their members, some have even abandoned their spouses, their parents, their grandchildren. for the past year cnn s donie o sullivan has been investigating what s behind this conspiracy. over the next hour he takes us across the country to meet the believers, confront their leader, and spend t
