Yes! The statue is known as the "Bocca della Verita" (mouth of truth) and it's outside a church in Rome called Santa Maria in Cosmedin, which you will find on any tourist map of Rome. There was a small queue to be photographed putting your hand in the mouth when I was there last. The church itself is small but lovely, with gorgeous "cosmati" work (inlay of marble/semi precious stone).
