A bit of the history of ‘Field of Flowers’

‘Field of Flowers’ is known in history for having been the place of punishments and executions. In fact, the large statue in the center of the square is the philosopher Giordano Bruno, who was burned as a heretic in 1600. The philosopher is portrayed with his face pointed towards Vatican City, as if giving a warning signal to the Church. Although it may just be a coincidence, the ‘Field of Flowers’ is the only historic square in Rome where there is a church. Also read What to visit near Rome? The best roundtrips from Rome.

The Street Market

From the second half of 1800 onwards, the lively and colorful Street Market is held here every day, where it is still possible to recognize the soul of the people of Rome amidst the shouts of vendors and colorful crowds of buyers. At sunset, the ‘Field of Flowers’ becomes a favorite hangout for nightlife, densely populated and loved by young people, both Italian and foreign, due to the many locals in the square and its surrounding streets.

During the Middle Ages, this place was reduced to a meadow on the left, and it is from this that it was probably named. Only in the late 1400s it was officially urbanized by the popes as the only road to the Vatican from the south. The first road to get there was Via del Pellegrino, which got its name because it was the main pilgrimage road to the Vatican. Read also What to do in Rome in 1 Day?

Why ‘Field of Flowers’?

The name ‘Field of Flowers’ comes from the fact that in the Middle Ages it was an abandoned field, but with the intervention of the popes it grew in importance and became something comparable to the Roman Forum, in other words, a center of public life. A bustling street with 16th century palaces that preserve the frescoes on the façades and that must be admired. Also read Which are the main markets in Rome?

The Attractions of the ‘Field of Flowers’

This road, among others, offers several shopping opportunities, with boutiques, bookstores, art galleries and a few surviving workshops that resisted globalization. And if you’re hungry, choose from cafes, bars and restaurants. Always on Via del Pellegrino, you will be intrigued by a passage hidden by scaffolding. It is the Arch of Acetari. Upon entering, you’ll find a small courtyard, surrounded by red houses with outside stairs and porches, and it’ll look like you’re in a medieval village. An oasis of tranquility, where some vines climb along the walls of the houses; to the right, the square, lit by the sun and dominated by silence.
