Summary/Abstract: The novel “Numero zero” (2015) is the last novel of the writer Umberto Eco. Through this novel, the author ironizes with the journalism, the journalists, the history, the science and the conspiracy. The homodiegetic narrator through numerous digressions on the story tells us the social situation in 1992-th Italy and the collapse of confidence and truth in journalism. The novel, divided into 18 chapters is a great truth about what is called “machine del fango”, which aims to damage the honor or trustworthiness of a person, or a political group, etc., in order to blackmail them.
