The serenity of the abbey is shattered by a succession of violent murders and for this reason the abbot asks for the intervention of the English friar William of Baskerville and his apprentice Adso da Melkso that they can understand who is responsible for these heinous crimes.
All the victims have one thing in common: they were find yourself with your tongue and fingertips dirty with a very intense black and suspicion begins to spread among the friars that these deaths occurred at the hands of the devil. The protagonist decides to begin his investigations starting from the evidence collected around the latest victim, a young man who worked as a miniaturist named Adelmo.
Gugliemo, in fact, is convinced that in reality it's a suicide and begins to question the friars present to obtain the necessary elements to confirm his theory. In the meantime Adso meets a girl who lives in the nearby village and, despite the path undertaken alongside Guglielmo, he gives in to temptation and spends some moments of passion with her.
