Share La Bocca della Verita (The Mouth of Truth) may not be grandiose like the Colosseum or the Pantheon but don’t be surprised to still see a line here.

Share I would never think of doing this myself because sharing the road with Roman drivers is terrifying enough and with such a fragile form of transportation, it’s out of the question for me. This picture was taken on Via del Corso. Buffer Idea behind Pictures of Rome
