Mouth of Truth monument in Rome

Posted 1 year ago by avatar hoonie in response to avatar anyideas's question: What's the legend behind that Bocca della Verita in Rome? (give a different answer) .

Well, in Piazza della Bocca della Verita, inside the Church of Santa Maria, you'll come across this statue representing a gaping mouth. Once you stick your hand inside, you ought to tell the truth unless you want it to bite down. It's a scene acted by Audrey Hepburn in a 1950's mouvie, "Roman Holiday", with her proving her innocent sincerity by means the terrible mouth.
