  The Mouth of Truth, known as "La Bocca della Verità," is steeped in legend and folklore, particularly the tale that it serves as a lie detector. According to popular belief, if an individual tells a lie while placing their hand in the mouth of the sculpture, it will snap shut, potentially severing their hand. This myth became famous during the Middle Ages and has since attracted countless tourists to its location in Rome. The sculpture itself, which is thought to date back to ancient Roman times, is also linked to various interpretations, including being a symbol of truth and justice in a world rife with deception.
