Mouth of Truth on 25th Dec

Hi All,

Does the Mouth of Truth still could be visited on 25th Dec as it's in the portico of St Maria Cosmedin which is a minor basilica and I believe would be closed on 25th Dec?

Even if the portico is locked, you can still get a good view of Bocca della Verita through the iron fence. This photo was taken from outside after hours, through the bars.
