Fortunato was insulted by the guy that he entombed in the crypt because he had insulted him. It has been a long time since I've read it but he insulted him in a way that led to the main character being ridiculed. So he wanted revenge.

Does 'The Cask of Amontillado' story take place in France?
Probably not, although one writer, Mabbot, speculates that it does. He believes the name Montresor is French and that the extensive cellar under Montresor's house is similar to the catacombs of France. It is more likely that it occurs in Italy, because the names of both Fortunato and Luchesi are Italian and at one point, Montresor refers to his home as a "palazzo", an Italian word. Montresor refers to the fact that few Italians have the true virtuoso spirit when it comes to wines and that he himself buys many of the Italian vintages. Italy also holds various carnivals in different towns prior to Lent.
