The Name of the Rose
On Rai 1
A cerebral, theologically dense medieval mystery that treats faith, reason, and institutional power as the true subjects beneath its murder plot.
Northern Italy, 1327. The Franciscan monk William of Baskerville and his young apprentice Adso of Melk reach an isolated Benedictine abbey on the Alps to aid in a dispute between the Franciscan Order and the Avignon papacy. Upon arrival at the abbey, the two find themselves involved in a chain of mysterious deaths.
