The market runs Monday to Saturday from about 7:00 to 14:00; there are no stalls on Sunday. You'll find fruit and vegetables, flowers, sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms, spices, oddly shaped pasta, olive oil and limoncello in souvenir bottles. Fewer Romans shop here than they used to — it has become touristy — but the morning bustle, the smell of herbs and the stallholders' patter are still the real thing.
Spices and souvenirs cost more than in supermarkets, while the fruit is seasonal and good. Come before 11am, when stalls are full and crowds thinner.
About the square
Campo de' Fiori means 'field of flowers' — a meadow stood here in the Middle Ages. Later it hosted horse fairs, merchants and inns for pilgrims. It's one of the few squares in central Rome without a church, always a place of trade rather than ceremony.
A daily market has run here since 1869. In the centre stands a dark, hooded bronze statue of the philosopher Giordano Bruno by Ettore Ferrari, from 1889, with reliefs and medallions of Renaissance thinkers around the base.
What to eat
On the corner, Forno Campo de' Fiori is famous across Rome for pizza bianca — thin flatbread with olive oil and salt — and pizza rossa with tomato, sold by weight in slabs: perfect for eating on the move. Wine bars and cafés around the square do breakfast with a market view.
Restaurants on the square itself cater to tourists. For a proper Roman dinner, walk a couple of streets to Via dei Giubbonari, Piazza Farnese or the Jewish quarter by the Portico of Octavia.
What's around
- Giordano Bruno statue — in the centre of the square.
- Palazzo Farnese — 2 minutes away, a Renaissance palace with a façade by Michelangelo.
