Famous for the episode of the philosopher Giordano Bruno who died flared on the stake due to the Catholic Inquisizione’ s charge of heresy on the 17th of february 1600 d.C. Today Campo de’ Fiori is the site of an odd market with a typical atmosphere. Campo de’ Fiori represents one of the places where Rome shows with most transparency its pure character.
Campo de Fiori: The open-air market
From the early morning with its open market, with its counters of fruits and vegetables, with its coloured flowers and its unmistakable fragrance of bread and pizza just taken out of the oven from the “craftsmen” of “Forno Campo de’ Fiori”. Just close to Campo de fiori square, which is the best area of Rome, there is one of the most important sites of the eternal city, Piazza Farnese, where you can see and visit the marvellous ‘Palazzo Farnese’, which is nowdays the French Embassy. But remember: the Embassy can be visited only every 14th of July, on the occasion of the seizure of the Bastille, therefore if you’re visiting Rome in summertime don’t miss this wonderful opportunity!
Campo de Fiori by night
During the night, the square turns into a place for meetings and entertainment for young people. The area, in fact, is full of restaurants, outdoor cafes, nightclubs, cinemas and theatres among the best of the city. Among the restaurants, we advise you “La Carbonara”, for its strategical position in Campo de’ Fiori and of course for its typical Roman cookery; “Ditirambo”, in Piazza della Cancelleria, for its more refined cuisine; “l’Osteria del Pesce”, in Via di Monserrato, for the lovers of ichthyic products; “Roscioli”, in Via dei Giubbonari, “Bric”, in Via del Pellegrino, and “Cul de Sac” in Piazza Pasquino for who loves a snack based on French cheeses, good cold cuts, and much-sought products.
