Lonely Planet review for Campo de’ Fiori

Noisy and colourful, ‘Il Campo’ is a major focus of Roman life: by day it hosts a much-loved market, while at night it turns into a raucous open-air pub. For centuries, it was the site of public executions, and in 1600 the philosophising monk Giordano Bruno, immortalised in Ettore Ferrari’s sinister statue, was burned at the stake here for heresy. Many of the streets surrounding Il Campo are named after the artisans who traditionally occupied them: Via dei Cappellari (hatters), Via dei Baullari (trunk makers) and Via dei Chiavari (key makers). Via dei Giubbonari (jacket makers) is still full of clothing shops.

    DO ITTT!

    bmad recommends this,

    A great experience, spend the afternoon looking through stalls of jewellry, clothing, and antiques.Can bargain with vendors for prices, although they arent generally too high to begin with (although it depends on the vendor). Everything from leather rings, fake purses, to old keys, to old postcards, records, dishes, to flip flops and jeans.
    Sunday is the best day to go.
    Great location, right near trasteverre which i would Highly reccomend.and a little ways walk to gianicolo which is also very worth it!

    Fun, what else?

    We were staying in an apartment by Campo de'Fiori Hotel here.
    It was a nice place and there were bargains at the stalls outside selling fake everything.
    A typical Roman experience.
