Paris perhaps, Amsterdam, London. Lecter is in Florence, actually, leading the life of a Renaissance scholar and curbing his tendency to latch on to people's noses with his teeth and bite them clean off. Starling is in highly publicized trouble over a botched drug arrest. Noses and whole faces are a thing with Lecter. Now Verger will pay handsomely to gain revenge.
Starling also catches on.
Lecter, of course, is known for dining on elaborately prepared pieces of human anatomy. Verger plans to feed Lecter to a pack of wild hogs he has been training for the purpose. Who gets fed how is what gives this film its distinctive flavor.
