Foucault's Pendulum was called that because, well, the object in the title is called that in English.
HOWEVER, The Name of the Rose wasn't translated as "The Rose's Name". and we have The Island of the Day Before, rather than "The Day Before's Island", and we have The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana rather than "Queen Loana's Mysterious Flame".
My bet is on "The Cemetery of Prague". If I'm wrong, I owe you a Coke.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

From what I can figure out by glancing at the Italian cover description, it sounds awesome.

That is what drew me in as well, besides it being a novel by Eco

But that's not to say there won't be more difficult Italian words he doesn't know.

Eco in Italian IS very difficult if you're not fluent.

Let me rephrase: I'm going to wait for a hardcover version in Italian or English.

It sounds like the French, Spanish and Italians don't read but the Germans do.

Yes, I don't think percentages are relevant. Gross statistics would matter much more.
