References to Dante in the movie Hannibal
Several visitors of the site asked about a Dante reference in the movie Hannibal, directed by Ridley Scott. Now that I’ve finally watched the movie myself, I’ve written this page in order to answer some of your questions. Sorry for the delay!

The main character, played by Anthony Hopkins, lives in Florence in disguise, pretending to be an American scholar specialized in studies about medieval Italian literature and especially Dante Alighieri.

The main reference to Dante’s work in the movie is the scene depicting Hannibal, Pazzi and his wife watching an opera. The opera is based, according to what the characters say, on the Vita Nuova. Specifically, the piece we hear in the movie is titled "Vide Cor Meum" and is based on the sonnet "A ciascun’alma presa", in chapter 3 of the Vita Nuova. The music is by Patrick Cassidy, produced by Patrick Cassidy and Hans Zimmer; the singers are Danielle de Niese and Bruno Lazzaretti who play respectively Dante and Beatrice and are also on the stage in this particular scene of the movie
