Piazza Navona

In an effort to broaden the topic of Campo de’ Fiori, I am now writing about various other piazzas. One piazza, in particular, that interests me is Piazza Navona. Piazza Navona has plenty to offer and is more than just a hang-out spot for the one and only Kev-O. The piazza is home to many expensive restaurants and all kinds of live entertainment during the day and night. This past Friday, there was a huge crowd gathered around to see a magic show which was taking place. There was also a good number of gypsies hawking knock-off purses and sunglasses. In comparison, Piazza Navona seems lager in size and the number of people in it than Campo de’ Fiori. Another cool thing about the piazza is that it was being used to film a scene for the upcoming film Angels and Demons starring Tom Hanks and directed by Ron Howard. This only added to the usual mass of people that congregate in the piazza on a Friday night. The human traffic jam was worth it, as you don’t always see a blockbuster movie being film right in front of you every day.
