Qui riposa le anime di gola
Cerberus: A three headed creature who guards the realm of gluttony. He feeds upon the souls here and in some translations of the divine comedy it is said that it takes up to thirty years to be digested; however, no matter how many times a soul dies it's body will be regenerated to be tortured once again.
Ciacco (Italian word for Hog): The only named soul that Dante Alighieri mentions in The Divine Comedy. Dante has a short conversation with him in which he references himself as a pig of a man in his time of life; this statement is a form of poetic justice.
