The Bocca della Verita (Mouth of Truth) is found in the courtyard of the Greek Orthodox Church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. This may have been a drain cover dating from before the 4th century B.C. Medieval tradition had it that the formidable jaws would snap shut over the hands of those who told lies. This is the same drain cover you can see in Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. When Nikki and I went looking for it we couldn't find it, and we ended up finding the road you see her on at the top of this page. But then Heidi and I went back and found it. I was really excited.
