This review is intended to identify the principal arguments, theoretical routes and nuances of thought of Umberto Eco in the way that they are presented by Claudio Paolucci —Eco’s main theoretical continuator— in his tribute book recently edited in Italian language. This work seeks, on the one hand, to highlight the value of the book, for summarizing such a complex work in some clear axes and, on the other, from a critical point of view, to discuss the central value that Paolucci assigns to laughter as a mechanism for the fall of high culture.
