Campo de'Fiori is best known for the charming market that has been held in the piazza for many centuries. The market has a variety of fruits, vegetables, meats, flowers and even fish to chose from. You can be sure to find the market everyday of the week, except for Sundays. The main attraction, that draws in the tourists is the huge open baskets that hold fresh broccoli, spinach, chopped vegetables and prepared salads. Despite the raindrops, I had the wonderful opportunity to check out this popular market for the first time, before heading off to school yesterday. I was amazed and overwhelmed with all the market had to offer. It is a completely different piazza, compared to the nightlife. The vibrant colors of the fruits and vegetables made my mouth water. I couldn't resist the bright red strawberries that were neatly lined in the front row of the fruits. For 1.50 euros I walked away with a delicious batch of sweet strawberries! It was an excellent purchase...and I plan on returning for more fruits and vegetables. In addition to the market, the square is surrounded by bread shops and cafes. If you have the time to visit this market during the early morning, I would definitely recommend it.
