It's probably worth mentioning that very recently Eco, along with other writers such as Hanif Kureishi and Tahar Ben Jelloun, decided to leave his long-time publisher, Bompiani, and start a new publishing house, named "La nave di Teseo" (Theseus' vessel). It did that at 83, investing 2 millions euros in the process. Remarkable.
