I'm most likely the only one.
1. Don't get me wrong Hannibal is charming. But I couldn't help finding Pazzi more attractive.
2. Giancarlo Giannini's acting was so good I thought it was on par with Hopkins and at some scenes I would say he even outshines Hopkins. (I'm so gonna get bashed for this)
I rooted for Pazzi to catch Lecter. Ugh, what is wrong with me?

Hahahaha love the ending to your answer - Oooooooo.......kay hahahah crack up of the day :)

The actor who portrays Pazzi is devastatingly handsome and sexy - An acting legend and a one of the most popular heartthrobs in Italy. So yes, for me, it was easier to say that Pazzi is more attractive than Lecter.
He DID outact Hopkins in some scenes didn't he? I wasn't rooting for his character 100% but I actually would've liked the movie more if their roles were switched - meaning if Giancarlo Giannini played Lecter and Hopkins played Pazzi. THAT would've been my turf. I would so watch and enjoy that.

Oh, he’s extremely attractive. My favorite scene is when he and his wife are preparing for the opera. His sipping a scotch while watching her dress, all as the music starts to build—so romantic yet very haunting too.
GIancarlo is amazing - I fell in love with him in this & not just cos my dads italian so biased.
I so wanted him to bail out when he had the money & he would have survived then, I didnt want him to die - he was a good cop up until that point. He underestimated Hanibal - your not going to get bashed - hahaha they are both incredible actors & Anthony Hopkins came from not far away from where i live :) in wales
Nothing is wrong with you - i wanted him to succeed to, he didnt deserve to die like that
Yeah, in a way, I was kinda rooting for him, too. But then the movie would've likely been considerably shorter and far less interesting.
shareWhy would you want a murderer to evade justice and kill again?
shareThat isn't so surprising. Pazzi was a corrupt policeman, which isn't exactly sympathetic or praiseworthy, but that's still several notches above being a cannibal and serial killer.
shareI love Pazzi! Yes, it has to do with how Giancarlo Giannini performed it so I did not want him dead but I did not want Pazzi to succeed either. I think he stole every scene he was in. Giancarlo Giannini outperformed Anthony Hopkins, and that is why we can empathise with him. The problem is that at the end Pazzi was helping a monster; obviously Hannibal is also a monster, but at least Hannibal doesn't hurt/sexually abuse children.

Another vote for how outstanding Giancarlo Giannini was in this role.
Great casting.

He was also on Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, probably the only other movies besides Hannibal in which I saw Giannini. I remember being so glad to see him in Casino Royale the first time, "oh look, there's that splendid Italian actor!"...
