Campo de' Fiori
Squares, Campo de' Fiori
Fodor's Review:
A bustling marketplace in the morning (Mon.-Sat. 8 AM-1 PM) and bohemian haunt the rest of the day (and night), this piazza has plenty of earthy charm. Except for the pizzerias and gelaterias, it looks much as it did in the early 1800s. Brooding over the piazza is a hooded statue of the philosopher Giordano Bruno, who was burned at the stake here in 1600 for heresy. His was the first of the executions that drew Roman crowds to Campo de' Fiori in the 17th century. Now the area is crowded with shops selling crafts and secondhand furniture.
