Italian semiotician, writer and philosopher, author of 'The Name of the Rose' and theory of open works.
A writer must be honest before language and before the reader.
Everything in this world is a sign. We live in an endless field of interpretations.
I was a storyteller from childhood. Narrative is the essence of human existence.
Television creates a new language of signs that shapes our reality.
A novel is an open work. The reader must be a co-author, interpreting the text.
Do not take yourself too seriously, but perform your task with seriousness.
Interpretation never ends. Each reading is a new discovery.
