In fact, one of the most interesting notes for the visitor is the cultural aspect of the monument. A Theatre company have a couple of plays of great quality with a lot of interactivity... you will explore most of the convent... even some close rooms! . One of the plays is the famous novel by Umberto Eco "The name Of The Rose".
