Campo de' Fiori

Piazza Campo de' Fiori is the only historic piazza in Rome without a Church, and the statue of Giordano Bruno has, centuries after his burning at the stake on this very square, become a symbol and martyr of modern cosmology and for free thought.

Today the area is a lively meeting point during the day due to the daily farmers market. In the evening it becomes a bustling haven of restaurants and bars, although the more reccomendable ones tend to be located in the meandering side streets of the neighbourhood.
