Milo Manara to present graphic adaptation of The Name of the Rose in Abbadia Isola

Artist Milo Manara will present the second and final volume of his graphic adaptation of Umberto Eco’s “The Name of the Rose” at Abbadia Isola in Monteriggioni on October 31, 2026. Published by Oblomov Edizioni, the project follows the first volume released in 2023.

Manara will be joined in conversation by Claudio Curcio, founder and president of Napoli COMICON. The adaptation is described as a personal reading of Eco’s work, focusing on the tension between mystery, knowledge, and power. Notably, Manara’s depiction of the character Guglielmo da Baskerville draws inspiration from Marlon Brando.
