Ten years after Umberto Eco’s passing, Milan’s Biblioteca Braidense opened a special showcase inspired by his novel “The Island of the Day Before.”
- Visitors explore rare, centuries‑old volumes that echo the book’s blend of history and imagination.
- The exhibit pairs these manuscripts with scientific artifacts, highlighting Eco’s love for interdisciplinary inquiry.
- Guided tours and talks invite scholars and fans to discuss Eco’s legacy in literature, philosophy, and semiotics.
It’s a warm tribute that lets the author’s curiosity live on among the shelves he once cherished.
