Umberto Eco (5 January 1932 – 19 February 2016) was an Italian novelist, essayist, literary critic, philosopher, and semiotician. He is best known for his groundbreaking 1980 historical mystery novel Il nome della rosa (The Name of the Rose), an intellectual mystery combining semiotics in fiction, biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory. He later wrote other novels, including Il pendolo di Foucault (Foucault's Pendulum), L'isola del giorno prima (The Island of the Day Before) and Il cimitero di Praga (The Prague Cemetery).
He has been named Satrape du Collège de 'Pataphysique for having perfected one of its areas, the cacopedia.
