Tribute to Giordano Bruno
★★★★☆
The only public square in Italy without a church, Piazza de' Fiori host the monument to Giordano Bruno, erected in 1889, on the place where the philosopher was executed in 1600. He was burn alive on a stack, as his ideas were very disturbing for the Catholic Church, Roman Inquisition and Pope himself. He kept insisting that the Earth is spheric and revolves around the sun, which drove crazy a lot of Cardinals. He also insisted that the universe is infinite and could have no center - most probably this one was the cherry on the cake for Inquisitors, who were acting like a fanatic Flat Earth Society back then.
Today, 425 years later, Campo de' Fiori is packed with tourists from all over the world and a lot of people from South Asian countries trying to sale overpriced souvenirs to foreign visitors.
Visited the Piazza before dusk, and found it in a mess, as the vendors were busy removing their stands, leaving a lot of garbage behind. I should try visiting it in the morning.
