Wow, what a shame. Such evocative architecture. I hope it can be restored.

As for The Name of the Rose: I loved the novel and the film, so this part of the article grabbed my attention:
On Tuesday, just hours before the fire broke out, it was announced that The Name of Rose would be adapted for TV for the first time. John Turturro and Rupert Everett will star in the eight-part, English-language production.
Evidently Turturro is to star as William of Baskerville, and Everett is to play inquisitor Bernardo Gui. Just in case it sucks, let me be the first to say: Penitenziagite!
