Tonight a couple of girls and I decided to go for a walk to enjoy the warm evening breeze. We decided to wander off towards Campo de' Fiori, and Piazza Navona, since we had never visited the areas during the evening. I was pleasantly surprised to see how different Campo was, compared to the morning, mid afternoon, and nighttime.
My experience has confirmed my hypothesis that Campo has many different personalities, and serves for many different purposes through out the day. We arrived around 7:30 in the evening to a rather calm and serene atmosphere. Although there were many people strolling around the piazza, it seemed as though no one was in a rush. Probably the most shocking aspect was that there were no vendors in sight. Many of the restaurants were only half filled, and some of the bars weren't even open at this time. I found it rather relaxing, as I took a minute to take it all in. The sun was setting, and the air was fresh.
It is incredible how one area can change so much in a matter of hours. If you have the time, I would recommend visiting the Piazza at different hours of the day. I can only hope that you appreciate the everchanging square as much as I have.
