Biltmore Estate was chosen as one of several locations for this film. Hannibal cast and crew also filmed in the venerable Florence, Italy. The magnetic and horrifying character of Hannibal Lecter, played by Anthony Hopkins, resurfaces after his escape in Silence of the Lambs, the movie that precedes this.
Biltmore is the creation of George Washington Vanderbilt (son of William H.; grandson of The Commodore, Cornelius), who visited Asheville in the mid-1880s while in his 20s and fell in love with one spot in the mountains, which had a fine view.
