I was enjoying seeing the differences in cuisines between the regions of Italy on this show until Mr. Tucci felt the need to inject his libtarded politics into episode 4. Yes, the ARROGANT, millionaire, Hollywood, 1-percenter actually attempts to lecture to/shame an Italian fisherman over the North's opposition to uncontrolled mass migration!
Mr. Tucci needs to understand that the fisherman lives in the real world, not in a secure, gated mansion. There have been many horrific attacks, rapes, and murders of Italian citizens and tourists by migrants in recent years. How dare some out-of-touch, wealthy, elite, American actor try to make the Italian guy feel guilty for wanting to be safe?! How dare he try to make a fisherman (as in someone whose income literally depends on the weather!) feel guilty for not wanting the Italian government to put migrants up in hotels and pay them a stipend while 5 million Italian citizens live in abject poverty?!
Tucci's attempt to equate the legal, controlled immigration of Italians to America (where there were strict quotas and they had to show proof of their identity, their health, and their ability to support themselves and/or of a relative who would sponsor them) with the mass migration of unskilled, 3rd-world immigrants to Italy is absolutely ludicrous! What NERVE of him to be standing in the fisherman's modest, little kitchen, preaching at him like that. He should be ashamed of himself. If he's so concerned, he can always offer to let a few of the migrants picked up by the Italian coast guard stay in his mansion, with his wife and children, or maybe even spend some of his millions to build them houses. Oh, I forgot, no lefty actor would actually do such a thing, they just like to lecture to us plebes about what WE should do!
Tucci just needs to shut up and cook!
