Location:
Vicolo dell'Aquila is a small side street located off Via dei Baullari,
which connects the main avenue Corso Vittorio Emanuele II with Piazza
Campo dei Fiori, a popular square with many restaurants, cafes,
shops, boutiques, as well as a daily open air food market. This Piazza
comes alive during the day with street musicians, local Romans doing
their shopping, and people relaxing and taking in the sun at the street-side
cafes. At night, it is also a trendy destination for Romans and tourists
alike, who gather in this area for the many quality restaurants and
wine bars. On the other side of Corso Vittorio is Piazza
Navona, another historic attraction with its 3 baroque
fountains and cafes.
