Son textos que se inspiran a menudo en el tema central elegido cada año en la Milanesiana, pero que luego recorren ríos de repertorios que beben de la filosofía, la literatura, la estética, la ética y los medios de comunicación para devolvernos, en un lenguaje afable, imbuido de ironía, a veces lúdico o mordaz, la quintaesencia del universo de Eco.
