The Mouth of Truth

On our last day before we caught the train back to Milano, we took a bus to see the Mouth of Truth.  This is an interesting piece of sculpture that tradition has it that if you tell a lie while your hand is in the mouth, the mouth will bite off your hand.  Italians would threaten to take their children to the mouth of truth to determine when they were being dishonest.

 Inside the church that hosts the mouth of truth - the floor is covered with many interesting mosaics.

Walking back to the metro stop we went past the Circus where the chariot races were held.

 Here we are at Linate Airport the following day with the office Elders - on our way home.
