Summary/Abstract: In my research project I begin to address the relationship between the radical activity of the Fiorentine UFO group and the semiology of Umberto Eco. The result of my analysis aims to demonstrate the great impact that Umberto Eco gave his students during his professorship at the faculty of architecture in Florence. His influence is noted not only in their close realtions, but also in their common interests for popular culture, comics stripes and mass media; not only in the similar approach to architecture as a sign, but also in their guerilla activity. On one hand, architectural and urban guerilla of UFO, on the other semiological guerilla of Umberto Eco.
