Just a few meters from the property you'll find the famous 'Bocca della Verita' (Mouth of Truth). In the porch of the mediaeval Church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin on the south side there is one of Rome's symbols, the so-called Mouth of Truth: this is a large round stone, with a grotesque face in relief with holes through the eyes and the nose, and a larger opening for the mouth.Viewers of the film 'Roman Holiday' will remember the scene in which Gregory Peck alarmed Audrey Hepburn by inserting his arm in the mouth and quickly withdrawing it with his hand concealed in his sleeve. In the past centuries, according to legend, the mouth was believed to close on the hand of anyone hearing false witness, particularly women accused of adultery. And this 'test' is still a must for all tourists.

| The Owner of 'appartament for holiday' says about rome |
ostia antica, The ancient Roman city of Ostia was in antiquity situated at the mouth of the river Tiber, some 20 kilometres to the west of Rome. The shoreline moved seawards, due to silting, from the Middle Ages until the 19th century. Therefore Ostia is today still lying next to the Tiber, but at a distance of some three kilometers from the beach. Ostia is Latin for 'mouth', the mouth of the Tiber. The river was used as harbour, but in the Imperial period two harbour basins were added to the north, near Leonardo da Vinci airport. The harbour district was called Portus, Latin for 'harbour'.

Rome is by far one of the most famous cities of the world. It is not easy to list all the places to visit and the attractions it offers. You can have everyday a thematic tour: start with the Roman age and visit the Fori Imperiali (3 metro stop), the Colosseum (4 metro stop) and the Catacombs, then discover Rome of the Baroque period with its fountains and its churches, but don't forget Rome of the Renaissance and the several noble palaces and gardens!
Stop in one of the restaurants or 'trattorie' that you will find walking in the narrow streets downtown and enjoy the Italian kitchen. At night, have a tour of the town: you will experience a different Rome with different colours |
