Hi. Welcome to The Roman Guy’s neighborhood series. Rome is split up into many different districts. Today, I’m in the Campo de’ Fiori neighborhood.
I love the Campo de’ Fiori Neighborhood because it hosts so many of the best things to do in Rome -including bars, museums, restaurants and shops.
To be completely accurate, Campo de’ Fiori is a piazza, but since it is the epicenter of so much Roman activity and nightlife, locals unofficially refer to the neighborhood as Campo or Campo de’ Fiori.
If you watched our other Rome neighborhood videos, you know that Rome is split up into 22 districts called Rione. The Campo de’ Fiori Neighborhood is located between two districts called Rione Regola and Rione Parione. Campo de’ Fiori means literally, field of the flowers.
You can see the Vatican City in the top left of this map. The Spanish Steps are located in the top center and the Colosseum and Roman Forum are in the bottom right. Campo de’ Fiori is central to all three of these top attractions in Rome, reachable in about 10 to 15 minutes from each location by bus. You can find details on which busses to take in the accompanying Hidden Gems Guide to Rome - Campo de’ Fiori blog post.
Campo de’ Fiori is known for its produce and open-air food market in the daytime and some of the best nightlife in Rome when the sun sets. The market closes in the early afternoon and the surrounding bars and restaurants extend their seating out into the piazza.
If you arrive before 7:00 PM, you’ll see many bars displaying aperitivo, which is a free buffet of snacks to tide you over while you enjoy a drink.
The daytime market has only been there since 1869. It was previously in Piazza Navona before they moved it, but the area has always been known for its commercial routes.
The surrounding roads are even named after the trades performed on those particular roads. Via del Balestrari is known for crossbow-makers. Via dei Baullari is known for coffer-makers. Via dei Cappellari is known for hat-makers. Via dei Chiavari is known for key-makers.
Prior to becoming a market, Campo was known for its executions, that’s right, most famously for that of Giordano Bruno on February 17th, 1600. He elaborated upon the Copernican theory saying that the stars were actually distant suns with exoplanets of their own.
He even mentioned these stars may be able to foster life of their own. His theory concluded that the universe was infinite and could have no celestial body at its center, directly conflicting with the Church’s teachings, punishable by death.
Besides the stands in the center, there are many authentic Italian food shops in the area. La Antica Norceria Viola is a 126-year-old, family owned and operated shop that sells cured meats.
Although not operated by its original owners, il Forno Campo de’ Fiori has been supplying bread products to the area since at least 1890.
Adjacent to the busy Piazza Campo de’ Fiori is Piazza Farnese. The focal point of the square is Palazzo Farnese. It was once the home of the Farnese dynasty, but today is the French Embassy.
The piazza is also home to the two large fountains that were once bathtubs in Ancient Roman baths, the Baths of Caracalla.
Via Giulia was created in Rome over 500 years ago by Pope Julius II. It was the first example of modern urbanization in the city since antiquity.
My final recommendation is one of the best local restaurants in Campo de’ Fiori - a place called Der Pallaro.
Love your presentation. I've been to Rome before, but your video makes me want to go there again. Rome, here I come!
Thanks so much for the comment. We have many more videos on Rome. Check them out. Happy travels to you.
Well done guys! :) informative and beautiful!
Thank you so much. You brought it alive for me. Anxious to visit next week.
Such fond memories. I hang with some seminarians who thought they knew Rome but this rocks. Love see the places I walked 40 years ago
Beautiful videos. A lot of information and recommendations in a well done video. Love it. Thanks for sharing :)
Great video. We went to both Cafe Peru and Der Pallaro. Both excellent. One thing I'd add - get to Cafe Peru in good time if you don't want to queue. We had lunch early, about 12.45, an hour later, the queue for a table was out of the door, and the bar area was jam packed.
Nope - just wine :-) with our food.
Great content!
This series is GREAT!
Thanks for your videos, they helped us heaps in Rome. For a good meal try Da Pancazio in Campo dei Fiori for some traditional Roman food. Its just to the side of the main square. You wont be disappointed. Ask to see their cellar as they have a column dating back to 59AD in there as the Pompey Theatre once stood there.
Great video. Heading there next month!
Fondly memories of this place. While in Rome, I stayed in an apartment at Vicolo del Gallo, a couple of blocks away from Campo de Fiori. The night life in the area so nice. Besides Vatican City and the Colosseum, I learned to love Rome just by hanging out in places like these.
Nice! I will be spending my summer in the neighborhood and it is nice to see all the places. I am pretty familiar with the neighborhood but there were some surprises for me.
very helpful..grazie
I loved it!!!!
More neighborhood series pls .....
I am in Rome for a week I will try to visit some of your recommendations
You cover more neighborhoods, like Testaccio and the area around the Spanish steps. Also via Apia Antica!
Yea - haven't been able to get back and film for a while. Definitely soon!
I learned more from these vids than anywhere else, very well done. Tours are too expensive for me though
It just tickles me whenever he introduces the different names (or should that be announcement) ..love the videos.
I very much enjoy all your insight of your beautiful city ..one day I would love to visit
I love this! I'm so looking forward to going to Caffe Peru! It would be cool to meet you guys when I'm in Rome in April :)

I wish I'd found your videos a month ago before our visit to Roma.
One of my favorite areas in Rome. Although it's one of the hottest tourist spots, the atmosphere there is still quite nice. We had a very decent dinner there, as well as some very nice gelato
Any audio book by roman de campo is automatically enjoyable and you will alway get invested into the story thank to his amazing and energetic voice 😊
I laughed so hard when he kept listing the different types of salame. If I get to go to Rome this summer, I'm def going to try to "meat" this guy.
that guy is cute and really passionate about cured meat
I am going to be going to Italy as part of a choir tour in June 2020. I have to come to Campo de' Fiori when we get to Rome! I will figure out a way to get there!
Ciao Jeanné! You will find it, and if you find it hard, just ask our travel experts for help!
great italy
Enjoyed this very much. Hope you will do one of the Jewish Quarter.
Aqua tofana
By the time I done with all these walking. I might be 100 too. I hope all the recommendation still there ...
do you still update new video about Italy?
@@TheTourGuyVids Great to know that! Would be grateful if the inter-city transportation video guidance will also be made!
where to find live music by contemporary and traditional roman musicians. good street music? Good small music venues?
The Tours is only in english
He's like the Italian Bubba Gump of salame 😂
The reason why I know of Giordano Bruno is because of the song exist by avenged sevenfold.
Thanks for the information. But I hardly think the owners of that last establishment were a hundred years old (unless it was their daughter!)
Im getting hungry..
The Roman Guy Haha, no problem. That's why I love that country so much :)
You have no respect and honor about Giordano Bruno, this brillant Soul
Campo doesn’t mean “field” here. A campo is a square where open markets take place.
That pasta dish at Dell Pallaro didn't look all that good. I'll avoid that place. Just being honest. ;-) I get enough pasta from my Italian relatives.
Every big city is broken up into districts. Nothing unique there. And your pronunciation of Fiori? A bit off, I'd say. I missed Campo de' Fiori last time I was there, but will make a point of visiting it next time.
That steriotypical italian voice over is super annoying
This would be an excellent video if it didn't look like it was partly edited by a 5 year-old.
