I'm giving serious thought...

Dr Lecter took his books off the podium and packed them in a bag. He turned to the projector, its fan still humming, dust swimming in its beam.

"I should have shown them this one, I can't imagine how I missed it."

Dr Lecter projected another drawing, a man naked hanging beneath the battlements of the palace.

"This one will interest you, Commendator Pazzi, let me see if I can improve the focus."

Dr Lecter fiddled with the machine, and then he approached the image on the wall, his silhouette black on the cloth the same size as the hanged man.

"Can you make this out? It won't enlarge any more. Here's where the archbishop bit him. And beneath him is written his name."

Pazzi did not get close to Dr Lecter, but as he approached the wall he smelled a chemical, and thought for an instant it was something the restorers used.

"Can you make out the characters? It says 'Pazzi' along with a rude poem. This is your ancestor, Francesco, hanging outside the Palazzo Vecchio, beneath these windows," Dr Lecter said. He held Pazzi's eyes across the beam of light between them.

"On a related subject, Signore Pazzi, I must confess to you: I'm giving serious thought to eating your wife..."

Oh my God, this was the biggest pain in the butt! So many shades and layers! May update this later once more...maybe not. Overall I'm happy with it...which is a good thing coming from me...I'm a bit of a perfectionist you see.

Yes indeed, you guessed it. The scene just before Rinaldo Pazzi meet his untimely fate. It's bittersweet to me, giving I love the Pazzi character so much - and the wonderfully talented Giancarlo Gianinni. Pazzi was just someone I felt sorry for - especially in reading the novel. Which was rare, Harris made it a point to make you despise all the other 'villains' of Hannibal Lecter, but with Pazzi, he sort of made you feel for the guy. He was portrayed more like he was a sad, helpless sap than a dirty cop.
