Campo de 'Fiori
The Campo de 'Fiori (translated about field of flowers , also flower square ) is a square in the center of Rome , in the Parione district , east of the Tiber .
In the middle of the square is a statue of the philosopher Giordano Bruno , erected in 1889 , who was burned as a heretic there on February 17th, 1600 . The monument was created by the Masonic Grand Master and sculptor Ettore Ferrari . The revelation was in response to Pope Leo XIII's encyclical Humanum genus published on April 20, 1884 . , in which Freemasonry is portrayed as the destroyer of the kingdom of God. Also on the Campo de 'Fiori, the reformer Giovanni Mollio and his pupil Tisserano were burned on September 5, 1553 .
The Campo de 'Fiori is one of the few significant squares in Rome that is not associated with any significant building. In 1869 the then flower market on the Piazza Navona was closed and relocated to the Campo (German for field). It is widespread that this is what gave the square its name. But that's wrong, its name comes from the original appearance. In the Middle Ages, before the Romans set up a horse market on the current site, it was a field with many flowers, hence the name.
Today, in addition to flowers, farmers mainly sell fresh food. One of Rome's most popular markets takes place every day (except Sundays) on the Campo. The Cinema Farnese is one of the most traditional cinemas in Rome. Since numerous wine bars, pubs and bars have opened in recent years, the Campo is now a highly frequented meeting point every evening.
