In her breakout movie Roman Holiday, Audrey Hepburn’s ingenue princess flirts with Gregory Peck at La Bocca della Verita, placing the ominous Italian statue firmly on the tourist trail.

Now fans of the late star will have another – more elegant – landmark to visit in her native Brussels, in a park opened in her honour recently, near the house where she was born in the Belgian capital.
