The Olimpia Club in Malindi this Saturday, 27 July, has several good reasons to celebrate the start of the tourist season on the Kenyan coast and the arrival of Italians: its owner, entrepreneur Pasquale Pes, will welcome guests (reservations are recommended for dinner, by calling tel. 0113248801) by presenting his autobiographical book ‘Fermarsi in tempo’, which came out a few weeks ago in Italy and has already received flattering reviews. Those wishing to buy it online in Italy can do so on the Amazon platform or order it in bookshops (EDIPRO publishing house).
Those who instead will be at the Olimpia on Saturday at 6.30 p.m. will be able to attend the presentation of the book, with an aperitif on offer, by Malindikenya.net director Freddie del Curatolo, who edited this interesting, exciting and enjoyable read. But that's not all, Saturday evening is also an opportunity to celebrate the birthday of one of Kenya's doyens of Italians, the former restaurateur and historical memory of the last 40 years of Malindi, Eugenio Del Curatolo (by the way, Freddie's father).
It was a special evening, enhanced by the live music of Max Pupillo and the gastronomic specialities of the renowned Italian restaurant, including fresh oysters from Kilifi, calamarata and other delicacies.
