Living statue on the Piazza Navona. To the left is Palazzo Pamphili, repainted - with the lower part of the church - in a color that does not match the yellowish tones typical of this square. Note the house at the right side of the church, undergoing restoration and therefore covered with an ugly billboard	This grande dame performed near the Four Rivers Fountain on the Piazza Navona. Directly underneath the obelisk of the four rivers fountain is an open space

The Torre delle Milizie is in the background	Trajan’s column (175 AD, near Piazza Venezia) being restored. In the background is the dome of Santissima Nome di Maria

The Bocca della Verità, the Mouth of Truth that is supposed to bite off the hand of a liar. It is in the porch of S. Maria in Cosmedin. If as little as 10% of all tourists would be liars, Rome would be flooded with blood
