Campo de'Fiori

Description

Campo dè Fiori is one of the nerve centres of Roman life. Home to a colourful fruit and vegetable market by day, by night it becomes an open air meeting point where the young people of Rome come together to eat in the fashionable restaurants and drink in the trendiest bars in town. The centre of the square is marked by a statue of Giordano Bruno, a Christian martyr burned on the stake in 1600 having been as accused of heresy.

Many of the streets around Campo de Fiori bear the names of the craftsmen which traditionally had their workshops there: Via dei Cappellari is dedicated to milliners; Via dei Baullari is dedicated to trunk makers and Via dei Chiavari is dedicated to keysmiths. Still today Via dei Giubbonari is lined with clothing shops.
