Over the course of fifteen years, far from university chairs, academic conferences, and honorary ceremonies, Eco wrote these texts to entertain the always large audiences of La Milanesiana, a festival created and directed by Elisabetta Sgarbi—a \"laboratory of excellence\" that interweaves diverse arts and knowledge, bringing together major names from the international scene in various fields of culture, such as literature, music, film, science, art, philosophy, and theater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe texts in this collection, for the most part, begin with the festival's chosen theme and then explore a repertoire that draws on philosophy, literature, aesthetics, ethics, and media. In short: the quintessence of Umberto Eco's universe, narrated in a friendly language interspersed with irony, sometimes playful, and sharp when necessary. The roots of our civilization, the shifting canons of beauty, the false that becomes true and changes the course of history, the obsession with conspiracy, the emblematic heroes of the grand narrative, art forms, aphorisms, and parodies are some of the highlights of this book, further enriched by the images the author often projected throughout his speeches.
