Hannibal is a very Catholic film in its themes of guilt and redemption, and it really sits well with the Florence setting. Interestingly, Dante's home was Florence but he was forced into exile due to his political affiliations in Florence. As much as he longed to return, he would have been burned at the stake. In a way, Florence represented both his Hell and his Heaven.
I was absolutely wasted at a party the night before on the outskirts of Florence. the next morning we overlooked the city from one of the hillside touristy locations all i wanted to do was throw up and scoop the inside of my head out, Hannibal style,i felt so rough.

I've never been so thankful to see a Mcdonalds in my life. There's no way i could have appreciated the city and gallery without fries, cola and several burgers to kill the hangover from hell.
