Maybe it's just a popular image or something?

Totally bada$$ ancient Roman sculpture, sometimes described as the entrance to Hell. Striking. Not dissimilar to the cover of In the Court of the Crimson King (which was probably inspired by it).

Not ancient Roman, I'm afraid. The Gardens were built in the 16th century for a local prince. They are very well worth visiting if you happen to be in Italy. The region where they are located is also very beautiful from a natural point of view. Unfortunately, the English Wiki page is not as detailed as the Italian one, which contains a description of each statue. What David was referring to is the Bocca della Verità in Rome, which was an ancient manhole cover. Edited by Raff - October 17 2020 at 05:58 |

As already written by Hrychu, that face is in the "monster's park in Bomarzo, a little town in the country, north to Rome. It's in a big garden park full of sculptures of monsters, including a house built like the Pisa tower which make you feel sick because of the wrong perspective. It has been built by a noble in 16th century. Its purpose was to amaze his guests and all the sculptures are related to ancient Roman and Greek myths. The face is not just a sculpture. Inside there's a room with a granite table where probably the actual guests had "brunches".
Today it can be visited and there's also a free barbecue area. In that zone there are other interesting places: a couple of dead cities (Calcata and Civita di Bagnoregio), a castle full of traps and hidden passages on the side of a volcanic lake (Bracciano), and there's plenty of places for great food and wine. Less famous than Tuscany but with similar landscapes.
