In the historic center of Rome, a short distance from Piazza di Spagna ”Campo Marzio“ is a rione of Rome in Municipio I, named after the Latin for ”Field of Mars“, dedicated, in ancient Rome. During the Imperial Age, several public buildings appeared: stadiums for athletic games, gymnasiums, theatres, temples and shrines. By the end of the 1st century, the Rione was already completely urbanized. The area was the location of several Roman monument, that still exist, at least in part.
Today the district includes the most busy shopping streets, crowded by thousands of fashionable stores, bars, restaurants, night clubs. This has become the true spirit of the district. During the working hours, Campo Marzio can be a real chaos, especially on Saturdays; but then, when the streets turn empty, or on Sundays, in the early hours of the day, the atmosphere becomes once again the original one.
