Literatur, Musik und Bella Italia! Ein musikalischer Premierenabend mit Eric Pfeil

In the organizer's words:

Summer, sun, dolce vita: be there when we celebrate the premiere of "Hotel Celentano" with Eric Pfeil at Pfefferwerk. An unforgettable evening full of literature, music and Bella Italia awaits!

Italy until the Vespa smokes, Dolce Vita until the sugar shock! In his new book, bestselling author Eric Pfeil takes a trip to Italy like never before.

What, he asks, about all the legendary Italian locations from music and film: can they be traveled to just like 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? 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 enthusiast who searches for grandeur and often finds sunburn.

"Eric Pfeil is a fabulous storyteller, witty, clever, with tremendous ease." Christine Westermann

Eric Pfeil was born in Bergisch Gladbach in 1969 and rode across the Alps for the first time shortly afterwards. At the turn of the millennium, he was the producer of the legendary music program "Fast Forward" and has been a sought-after TV author ever since. He writes about film, literature and pop music and its consequences for the FAZ and Rolling Stone, among others. His two books on Italian pop music have been acclaimed by critics and audiences alike.

The book premiere is a cooperation between Kiepenheuer & Witsch and the BUCHBOX.

There will be a book table and a signing opportunity on the evening of the premiere.
