Il Nome della Rosa by Umberto Eco (Bompiani Edition)

The Name of the Rose (Il Nome della Rosa) is a globally acclaimed historical mystery novel by Italian writer Umberto Eco, first published in 1980. This specific edition is published by Bompiani, a prestigious Italian publishing house founded in 1929 by Valentino Bompiani. The brand has been a cornerstone of Italian intellectual life for nearly a century.

Over the decades, the ownership of the Bompiani imprint has shifted through major corporate acquisitions. Historically part of the RCS Mediagroup, it was acquired by the Giunti Editore group in 2016 following antitrust rulings during the merger of Mondadori and RCS Libri. Today, Bompiani operates as a primary imprint within Giunti, maintaining its focus on high-quality fiction and philosophical works. The physical production of these books typically takes place in Italy to supply the domestic market.
