Campo de' Fiori

---

As its name suggests, Campo de' Fiori (Field of Flowers) was once a meadow. It became a piazza in the fifteenth century and since the 1860s it has been a market-place. It is the only piazza in Rome to be called a campo. 

Monument to Giordano Bruno by Ettore Ferrari

In the centre of Campo de' Fiori is a monument to Giordano Bruno (1889), a Dominican friar and polymath, who was executed there on February 17th, 1600.
