Umberto Eco's private library was a world in itself: more than 30,000 contemporary books and 1,500 rare and  antique volumes. Umberto Eco: A Library of the World follows Eco one year before the writer's death while shooting  a video project for the Venice Art Biennale in 2015. With the help of Eco's family, this documentary showcases a one-of-a-kind  place, but also tries to catch and represent the universal idea of a library as "memory of the world", as Eco himself  liked to describe it.
