Description
Property. This estate is located in one of the most beautiful niches of ancient Rome under the hills "Colli Palatini" and besides the square called "Bocca della Verità", which takes its name from the famous Mouth of Truth, the maskaron, which is under the porch of the St. Mary's church in Cosmedin. According to a famous Roman legend the threatening mouth would snap shut on a liar's hand. At a walking distance there is Rome with its important buildings: the "Curia", the premises of the Roman Senate, the State Archive, the basilicas, the Palace of Justice, the Temple of Vesta, and the House of the Vestals, the virgins in charge of keeping the sacred fire always alive, and all around temples and columns and arches of triumph erected to commemorate gods and men of Roman history. Almost all this is visible from the roof terrace which is part of this property. While sitting on your sofa you can see the fronton of the Church of S. John the Beheaded, which is just on the other side of the road. The church was completed in 1500 and has a sober façade; the interior was decorated by Florentine mannerist painters. It was very famous in the past because the members of a brotherhood assisted those who were sentenced to death.
