Campo de' Fiori is the only historic square in Rome without a church, a place where religion was not celebrated, as in other squares, but rather where daily life was made up of exchanges and relationships.

The square became the scene of capital executions and punitive acts by the Church. It was precisely in Campo de' Fiori that, in 1600, the philosopher Giordano Bruno, a Dominican friar accused of heresy by the Church, was burned. In 1876, a committee of university students, fervent republicans, was formed to promote the erection of a bronze monument in memory of the philosopher from Nola on the site of the blaze. Numerous intellectuals from around the world joined the committee, including Walt Whitman, Ernest Renan, Victor Hugo, Silvio Spaventa, and Henrik Ibsen. Despite strong hostility, the square remained a popular meeting place for the entire city. Of the ecclesiastical world, the monument to Giordano Bruno, the work of sculptor Ettore Ferrari, was inaugurated on June 9, 1889.

Campo de' Fiori is a square that seems to have two distinct lives, both fascinating and capable of captivating anyone who visits it.
Every morning, from Monday to Saturday, a market of food, flowers, and other products is held, with colors and scents that attract tourists and Romans alike.
At sunset, however, Campo de' Fiori changes completely. The stalls are dismantled and the square comes alive with a convivial and lively atmosphere thanks to the presence of many locals. For this reason, it has become a favorite meeting place for young people.
