Today, what remains of Campo de' Fiori is the famous market that takes place every morning from 1869.

The history of the square begins in ancient Rome, when the area was considered one of the rougher places in the city.

It was used as storage for the teams of charioteers, or those who were leading the chariot races in the Circus Maximus.

Confirmation of this was the fact that, later, the remains of workshops were found in the surrounding areas.

Piazza Campo de' Fiori, which during the middle ages it was reduced to an abandoned lawn ( it is from here that is the name ), was officially urbanized by the popes in the late 1400s, as the only way to the Vatican from South.
