Hotel Celentano

A Summer Trip Through a Different Italy

  • A narrative travel guide to the mythical Italy of pop culture
  • Topics: Travel Literature, Italian Pop Culture, Music History

Eric Pfeil takes us on a summer journey through Italy, visiting places that have been unjustly forgotten or never became famous but hold the key to lightheartedness.

During a dreary winter, Pfeil maps out the locations where the mythical Italy of songs and films was born. He visits the Tuscan club where Mina gave her farewell concert, the sets of spaghetti westerns, and the retreats of jet-set stars, searching for the unsung attractions of the Bel Paese, combining a spirit of discovery with a deep love for Italian culture.
