[00:01.04] Hans Zimmer - Let My Home Be My Gallows
[03:51.35] Because of his avarice and his betrayal of the emperor's trust...
[03:54.50] Pier della Vigna was disgraced,blinded and imprisoned.
[03:59.05] Dante's pilgrim finds Pier della Vigna on the seventh level of the Inferno...
[04:03.58] like Judas Iscariot, he died by hanging.
[04:07.71] the Judas and Pier della Vigna are linked in Dante...
[04:10.63] by the avarice he saw in them.
[04:13.19] In fact, avarice and hanging are linked in the medieval mind.
[04:18.35] This is the earliest known depiction of the Crucifixion...
[04:20.84] carved on an ivory box in Gaul about A.D.400.
[04:25.60] It includes the death by hanging of Judas...
[04:29.72] his face upturned to the branch that suspends him.
[04:32.62] Here he is again on the doors of the Benevento Cathedral hanging...
[04:36.28] this time with his bowels falling out.
[04:40.45] On this plate from the 15th-century edition of the Inferno...
[04:43.45] Pier della Vigna's body hangs from a bleeding tree.
[04:46.57] I will not belabor the obvious parallel with Judas Iscariot...
[04:50.04] but Dante Alighieri needed no drawn illustration.
[04:52.97] It was his genius to make Pier della Vigna, now in hell...
[04:58.55] speak in strained hisses and coughing sibilants...
[05:01.02] as though he is hanging still.
[05:05.45] Come L'altre verrem per nostre spoglie,
[05:09.18] ma non però ch'alcuna sen rivesta,
[05:12.39] ché non è giusto aver ciò ch'om si toglie.
[05:15.82] Qui le stracineremo, e per la mesta
[05:19.65] Selva saranno i nostri corpi appesi,
[05:23.39] ciascuno al prun de L'ombra sua molesta.
[05:28.22] Avarice, hanging, self-destruction.
[05:32.82] Io fei gibetto a me de le mie case
[05:36.76] I make my own home, be my gallows.
