No there were too many people queuing up! but I hate not telling the truth so I doubt I would have ended without a hand there Reply »

There’s a legend about the “Bocca della verità”: a jealous husband wanted to verify if his wife was faithful so he asked her to put her hand in the “Bocca” as if she was telling a lie the Bocca would have bitten her. Just before doing so, the lady pretended to faint and fell in a passer’s by arms. She then put her arm in the Bocca and swore that she had never been in other arms than her husband’s and those of that passer-by. Incidentally the latter one was her lover. In other words, truth is sometimes (often?) untrue. Reply »
