Eric Pfeil - Hotel Celentano

Hotel Celentano

“Eric Pfeilis a fabulous storyteller—witty, clever, and incredibly effortless.” Christine Westermann
Italy until the Vespa smokes, la dolce vita until you get a sugar rush! In his new book, bestselling author Eric Pfeil embarks on a journey through Italy unlike any other.
What, he asks, has actually become of all those legendary Italian locations from music and film: Can they be visited just as easily as the beaches, the Roman ruins, and the highly acclaimed restaurants? Where exactly did Adriano Celentano shoot his films? Where did Marcello Mastroianni regularly spend his vacations? At which beach club did the celebrated prima donna Mina give her farewell concert? And what’s happening at these places today? Eric Pfeil crafts his own map of Italy featuring numerous little-known spots and sets off. He spends an entire summer crisscrossing the Bel Paese, tracing the myth of Italian lightheartedness.
“Hotel Celentano” is a trip into the wildly beating heart of Italy. And the hilariously funny account of an enthusiast searching for “grandezza”—and often ending up with a sunburn instead.
