Wandering these rooms, hallways, salons is a lover, a collector and above all a reader of books: Umberto Eco in his private library. More than 30,000 contemporary books and more than 1500 antique rare books. Fundamental books, but also curious, magical, cabalistic, bewitched. Eco devoured everything, including novels, which he swore he would never write, until that fateful year 1980 and The Name of the Rose.
