Campo de' Fiori Market

Rome's most photogenic morning market fills this Renaissance piazza with stalls selling seasonal produce, dried spices, artisanal pasta, truffle products, and fresh flowers. The statue of Giordano Bruno — burned at the stake here in 1600 — watches over the scene with a disapproving hood. The market has become touristy (spice prices are inflated, and some stalls sell tourist trinkets), but the fruit and vegetable vendors on the piazza's edges still serve locals at fair prices. By 14:00 the stalls vanish and the piazza transforms into an aperitivo and nightlife hub. The surrounding streets hide some of the city's best bakeries and delis.
