1st stop Campo de' Fiori is a rectangular square nearPiazza Navona in Rome, Italy, Campo de'

Fiori, translated literally from Italian, means "field offlowers". The name was first given during

the Middle Ages when the area was actually a meadow.

Executions used to be held publicly in Campo de' Fiori. Here, on 17 February 1600, the philosopher

Giordano Brunowas burnt alive by the Roman Inquisitionbecause his ideas (such

as heliocentrism) were deemed dangerous and all of his work was placed on theIndex of Forbidden

Books by the Holy Office. In 1887 Ettore Ferrari dedicated a monument to him on the exact spot of

his death: he stands defiantly facing the Vatican, reinterpreted in the first days of areunited Italy as a

martyr to freedom of speech.

2nd stop of the day Piazza Navona The ancient Romans came there to watch the agones ("games"),

and hence it was known as 'Circus Agonalis' (competition arena). It is believed that over time the

name changed to 'in agone' to 'navone' and eventually to 'navona'.

creations: in the center stands the famous Fontana dei Quattro Fiumior Fountain of the Four Rivers
