La Navona square in Rome It has the reputation of being one of the most beautiful in Italy, and I can attest to that.

But very close to it, towards the south, you have one of the most charming in the capital of Italy.

I mean Field of Fiori, small square that is located in the neighborhood between the road Vittorio Emanuele II and Tiber river.

In my last trips to Rome I have not missed the opportunity to go to Field of Fiori to take a break from visiting the city, either to have a coffee or even eat.

For this necessary stop during a tourist day, it seems to me to be a more welcoming corner than the aforementioned one. Navona square.

En Field of Fiori, every day of the week, except Sundays, you will find a popular market in the morning that dates back to the last century.

When you sit on any of the terraces of the bars and restaurants that surround the square, you will always be able to see a great atmosphere, of which the tourists are undoubtedly the main protagonists.

The colorful facades that surround the square give it an endearing atmosphere, typical of historical Italian films that recreated the most popular Rome.

Giordano Bruno Statue

And of course, a great point of attention in your visit of Campo de Fiori is going to be the large and somewhat enigmatic statue in the center of the square dedicated to Giordano Bruno.

This tribute to the Italian astronomer and philosopher of the second half of the 16th century is due to the fact that in this place he was burned at the stake, punished as a heretic by the Inquisition.

I remind you that Giordano Bruno proposed that the Sun was not only the center of our galaxy, but that it was just another star in a large universe..., a theory that at that time was a heresy.

If you still don't know her, I advise you that in your next trip to Rome (maybe the first?) don't forget to go to the Campo de Fiori square.

  • Hello José Luis, I wanted to ask you a couple of questions:
    1st, I would like to know if when they say that those over 65 do not pay entry, it is in general or only for people from the European Union.
    2º As for the ruins of Pompeii, they are open every day, because in a blog I read that they were only open to the public three days a week.
    I hope I don't bother you with my concerns, but this is my first trip to Italy (perhaps the only one) and I have many questions, especially because in a few days we plan to visit a few places with my daughter. Thank you, in advance, for your kindness. Greetings Hilda
