Italy until the Vespa smokes, dolce vita until sugar shock!
In his new program, bestselling author and entertainment cannon Eric Pfeil takes a trip to Italy like never before.
What, he asks, is actually going on with all the legendary Italian locations from film and music: is it possible to travel after them as well as the beaches, the Roman ruins and the many culinary delights?
Where exactly did Adriano Celentano shoot his films? Where did Marcello Mastroianni regularly spend his vacations? In which beach club did the acclaimed prima donna Mina give her farewell concert? And what is going on in these places today?
Eric Pfeil creates his own map of Italy with numerous little-known places and sets off. He spends an entire summer traveling through the Bel Paese and tracing the myth of lightness.
"Hotel Celentano" is a trip into the wildly beating heart of Italy. And the highly comical record of a raving fanatic who searches for grandeur and often finds sunburn.
