Steve - Campo dei Fiori

Campo dei Fiori is a hub of commerce, as the marketplace caters to the foodstuff needs of the locals. The movement within the site is largely pedestrian circulation, with little to no vehicular traffic. It is located directly south of Piazza Navona. The busy bus stop of Largo Argentina is located somewhat nearby, allowing access for a majority of the city. Along the outer boundaries of Campo dei Fiori, restaurants and their canopies sit with their tables forming a fairly clear boundary for public space. These boundaries create two distinct districts, one for the market in the center, and the restaurant district along the edge. The main pathway of the piazza runs directly through it where pedestrian traffic from the southwest where Piazza Farnese is located, and moves northeast leading more towards Piazza Navona. This central pathway sees a great deal of both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The tourists generally use this pathway and interesting relationships are formed where this path collides with that of the marketplace, where the locals usually venture. Aside from the path directly through the piazza, there is a lot of pedestrian movement through the marketplace, which generally exists as a grid pattern.

The two major landmarks in Campo Dei Fiori are the statue of Bruno and the Terrina Fountain. Locals use these places as meeting places, as well as places to sit and people watch. These landmarks also act as nodes, as activity is usually drawn to them. The other nodes are the two drinking fountains in the piazza, where one could catch a drink, or the merchant use them to fill up buckets so they can water their fruits and vegetables. Most of the activity however exists along the pathways that are created in the marketplace, where people constantly run and bump into each other, or simply pass the time waiting for someone or something to happen.
