ROMAN HOLIDAY
A light tune, hip-swaying walk, Audrey Hepburn’s thick fringe, buzzing scooters of all colours, smell of coffee and petrol — buon giorno, signori, Rome welcomes you!
This city known for the habits of an arrogant dandy wakes up at dawn and never goes to sleep. It is straightforward and fastidious, yet at all times authentic, actually, in the same way as its cuisine. The artichokes cooked in Rome taste exactly like artichokes, while lamb is just lamb and nothing else, the greens that go into a dish are always fresh and the same holds for spices. The undisguised simplicity often astonishes Rome’s visitors, and only those who do their best to know la cucina romana as well as possible will be let in on its secrets.
Despite the amazing dishes which local chefs were soon cooking with potatoes and tomatoes, these vegetables brought to the Italian capital from the New World in the 16th century did not produce any significant effect on the eating habits of the Romans. Centuries ago, as well as today, the highlights of Roman cuisine were olives and olive oil, beans, baked pork, lamb, fresh vegetables and garden herbs, sheep’s milk cheese, bread, pasta, fresh fish and salted anchovies. Local wine and spring water had to be part of every meal.
At the beginning of the first millennium B.C., the territory of Rome in the region of Latium was composed of a few deserted slopes by a river, with some shepherd huts. A thousand years later, the town turned into a fast developing city with well established trade and economic links: for instance, Roman bread used to be baked from the grain brought from North Africa. Even in the golden age of the Roman Empire, there were historians and men of letters nostalgic about the old days when a bowl of warm wheat could satisfy all the needs of a Roman. For example, Petronius famous for farcical descriptions of gluttony at the extravagant banquets of the rich Roman Trimalchio, was afraid the future generations would picture Romans consuming exclusively larks’ tongues and other unthinkable delicacies.
