Campo di Fiori

Short stop at Campo di Fiori which still had the market open. A lot of people and action going on, nice just to sit and watch. Nancy bought a peeler which makes zucchini and carrot spaghetti.

The southern section of the Centro Storico, Campo de' Fiori is another neighborhood of narrow streets, small piazzas, and ancient churches. Its main focus is the piazza itself, whose workaday fruit and veg stalls are a real contrast to the cafes and street entertainers of Piazza Navona. The open-air food market runs Monday through Saturday from early in the morning until around noon (or whenever the food runs out). From the center of the piazza rises a statue of the severe- looking monk Giordano Bruno, whose presence is a reminder that heretics were occasionally burned at the stake here: Bruno was executed by the Inquisition in 1600.
