Bocca della Verità, Visitor
Rome, Italy, February 2009
Someone approaches the “Mouth of Truth”, a sculpture of a human face carved from Pavonazzetto marble, thought to be part of a 1st century Roman fountain portraying pagan gods. Legend has it that if you tell a lie while your hand is in the Bocca della Verità’s mouth it will bite it off!
