Liars, Beware!

Liars, are you ready to put yourself to the test?
Well, you just have to come to Rome... and put your hand in the Mouth of Truth (Bocca della Verità)!

This is placed in Rome, in Italy and it is a marble mask, built by Ancient Romans.
It was probably a manhole and it has eyes, nose...and a mouth. The legend is very famous: you have to put your hand in its mouth, say something and it is said that the mouth bites the hand of those who do not tell the truth.

It was the movie "Roman Holiday" that made this very famous all around the world, in 1953: a sequence of the film with the two unforgettable protagonists Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck takes place right in front of the Mouth of Truth.

The multitude of tourists who still want the photo with their hands in the Mouth shows that the myth has not disappeared; but those who are afraid must have said some lies...

And you? Would you have the courage to face it?
