An area that contains fascinating history as well as daily fresh markets, Campo De Fiori has never been architechturally formalized. Instead, the square has always remained a focus for commercial and street culture: the surrounding streets are named for trades—Via dei Balestrari (crossbow-makers), Via dei Baullari (coffer-makers), Via dei Cappellari (hat-makers), Via dei Chiavari (key-makers) and Via dei Giubbonari (tailors). With new access streets installed by Sixtus IV— Via Florea and Via Pellegrino— the square became a necessary corridor for important people passing between the Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano and the Vatican, thus bringing wealth to the area. A flourishing horse market took place twice a week (Monday and Saturday) and a lot of inns, hotels and shops came to be situated here. Our apartment, Gonzaga, is on the 4th floor of a building literally minutes away from both Campo De Fiori and Piazza Navona. As you enter the apartment through a bolted door, you will walk into a living/dining area with a sofa-bed for two, a television, and a small round table for four people. Down the hall is a comfortably bright bedroom and a small kitchenette with a hotplate for small meals or snacks. With a/c in the living room, Gonzaga provides the essentials and location for discovering Rome at your own pace.
