STANLEY TUCCI IS back for a second season of Tucci in Italy on Disney+, which means we can look forward to more explorations of delicious food and local fare with our favourite Italian-American (sorry, Scorsese).

In the latest season, Tucci is set to visit new regions and have a delightful time of it altogether eating all around him. Lucky for some.

Tucci is, of course, a consummate actor (he stars in The Devil Wears Prada 2, in cinemas now), director, and debonair cocktail maker. You might think you know all about him… but how much do you really know?

Put your Stanley Tucci knowledge to the test with this week’s Best of the Box quiz.
