A travel guide without any sights. But with lots of music! If you want to explore the Italian soul and get to know the country, you have to listen! Eric Pfeil invites his audience on a musical-literary journey through wonderful Italy: using heart-touching canzoni and irresistible catchy tunes, the author tells of the tornness of a country between dolce vita and impenetrable bureaucracy, of Silvio Berlusconi's legacy, of the mafia and social awakening , the success story of Italy's uncoolest band and again and again about love.

Eric Pfeil was born in Bergisch Gladbach in 1969 and drove across the Alps for the first time shortly afterwards. At the turn of the millennium he was the producer of the legendary music show “Fast Forward” and has since been a sought-after TV author. He writes, among other things: for FAZ and Rolling Stone about film, literature and pop music and their consequences. His first “travel guide without sights” was celebrated by critics and audiences alike in 2022 and was on the SPIEGEL bestseller list for weeks.

Admission: 6 p.m
