I made a post similar to this one in the Italian only section of the site. I am posting it again here in English so that non Italian Speakers may also see campo dei Fiori
First, I apologize for the typo in the title. It should say Campo dei Fiori.
Campo dei Fiori is a large local square in the heart of Rome. It got its name from the fact that in the middle ages it was a meadow.
It is surrounded by cafes and bars and is home to a fabulous flower and vegie market in the mornings, and is a happening place for nightlife in the evenings. Many people shop in this area for fruits and vegetables...the artichoke or carciofo in Italian is a very popular item here.
There are also some good clothing stores on the roads that lead into the square.
Yet another fabulous place to pull up a chair, order an espresso or vino and do some serious people watching/meeting....depending on how many of those vino's you've had!!
Look at some of these pictures, they are beautiful. Also you can go to
