Rome is great for wandering. We stumbled upon La Bocca di Verita, or The Mouth of Truth. It is located in the entrance of a church. When you place your hand in the mouth, the legend is (made famous by the movie Roman Holiday) that if you are a liar, your hand will be bitten off. I managed to keep both hands:) Later in the day, I visited the markets and came across a low budget film being shot in a side street. Graffiti is everywhere you turn in Italy, and sometimes it is art, but mostly it is an eyesore. However the "Rome is Home" graffiti I saw was downright charming.
