Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Sir Anthony Hopkins) asks Inspector Rinaldo Pazzi (Giancarlo Giannini) about being demoted from the Il Mostro case. Il Mostro was a serial killer about whom Hannibal gives clues to Inspector Pazzi. This was a subplot that was filmed, but never used, as it was thought to be too complicated. In actual fact Il Mostro di Firenze (the monster of Florence) was a serial killer in Florence in the 1960's-1980's. Thomas Harris was in Florence during a court case concerning the matter and that's where he got the inspiration for Hannibal Lecter, and also where he met Niccolo Capponi, whose ancestral home is featured when Lector is in Florence under the guise of Dr. Fell.
