Giordano Bruno

Campo de' Fiori holds a historic statue in the center of it's piazza square. This statue was built in memory of Giordano Bruno who was an Italian philosopher of his time. Giordano Bruno was born in 1548 and died in 1600. The statue of Giordano Bruno was erected in 1889. Interestingly enough, Bruno was executed in Campo de' Fiori which is why his statue stands where it does today.

During the day the statue is not as noticeable as it is at night due to the market tents surrounding the Giordano Bruno statue. By night, the statue is surrounded by local Italians and tourists sitting around conversing and drinking. Even though many surround this statue it does not seem to attract tourists during the days. At night it seems to be more of a hang out area for many late night bar goers.
