The Mouth of Truth

The Mouth of Truth

Outside the entrance of Santa Maria church in Cosmedin, La Bocca della Verità – the Mouth of Truth – is a fun photo opportunity. Legend has it that if you tell a lie while your hand is inside the mouth of this eerie-looking marble face it’ll be bitten off. Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck tried it in Roman Holiday. This activity is just part of what makes Rome special — explore our full Rome destination page to plan the rest of your stay.
