First off, a reminder that Umberto Eco is an Italian author.  (as I&#x27;m sure most of the commenters here are familiar with The Name of the Rose or Foucault&#x27;s Pendulum in English)<p>Based on this (and a few other) reviews, I&#x27;m not entirely sure how this book is supposed to be different from Foucault&#x27;s Pendulum.
