Vide Cor Meum - original libretto in Italian / latin with translation.

Vide Cor Meum is a song composed by Patrick Cassidy, based on Dante's "La Vita Nuova", specifically on the sonnet "A ciascun'alma presa", in chapter 3 of the Vita Nuova.

The song was produced by Patrick Cassidy and Hans Zimmer and was performed by Libera / Lyndhurst Orchestrathe, conducted by Gavin Greenaway. Singers are Danielle de Niese and Bruno Lazzaretti, who play Beatrice and Dante, respectively.

The song first appeared in the movie Hannibal, while Dr. Hannibal Lecter and Inspector Pazzi see an outdoor opera in Florence, and was especially composed for the movie.

It is not exactly latin, but a Tuscany dialect , with some latin sentences interspersed in it. Dante actually selected that primitive italian language to write this piece.

You're actually solving a mystery I've been trying to solve since first hearing this in Hannibal: Is this aria from a complete opera or is it a stand-alone piece written specifically for the film?
